Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of aerobic training with and without massage manipulation of speed parameter of college men players. For this purpose, forty five (N=45) men students who participated in Anna University intercollegiate tournament during the year 2015–2016, were selected randomly as subjects. They were divided into three equal groups of fifteen (n=15), namely Aerobic Training with Massage Manipulation group, Aerobic Training without Massage Manipulation group, and group III (Control group) that did not involve in any training. The training period was limited to ten days per week for twelve weeks. The dependent variable selected for this study was Speed, and it was assessed by 30 meters run test. All the subjects were tested prior to and immediately after the experimental period on the selected dependent variable. The collected data were analyzed by using dependent ‘t’–test to find out significant improvements. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to determine the differences, if any, among the adjusted post–test means. Whenever ‘F’–ratio for adjusted post–test mean was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post–hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level of confidence for all the cases. The results of the study showed all the experimental groups namely, aerobic training with massage group and aerobic training without massage group had significantly improved in Speed. Further the study showed aerobic training with massage group is better than other groups.
