Abstract :

Purpose: The present study is designed to find out the effect of isolated and combined intermittent training, continuous running training on the anaerobic power performance of inter school cricket players. Subjects: For this purpose, sixty men (N=60) Cricket players studying from various schools in Ramanathapuram District, Tamilnadu during the year 2014–2015 were selected randomly as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged from 14 to 16 years. The subjects were assigned in random into four groups of fifteen each (n=15) namely, Intermittent training, Continuous Running Training, Combined intermittent training and Continuous Running Training and Control group. Training Protocol: Group–I underwent Intermittent training, Group–II underwent Continuous Running Training, Group–III underwent Combined intermittent training and Continuous Running Training and Group–IV acted as Control. The duration of the training period for all the three Experimental groups was restricted to twelve weeks and the number of sessions per week was confined to three in a week. For Combined intermittent training and Continuous Running the training period was restricted to alternative weeks for twelve weeks. Variables: The dependent variable selected for this study was Anaerobic Power. Anaerobic Power was assessed by Margaria – Kalamen Anaerobic power test. Statically Procedure: All the subjects were tested prior to the training and immediately after test, the training was given to all the selected variables. Data were collected and statistically analyzed using ANCOVA. Scheffe’s post hoc test was applied to determine the significant difference between the paired means. In all the cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed. Results: The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference was found among all the Experimental groups namely Intermittent Training, Continuous Running Training and Combined Intermittent Training and Continuous Running Training groups had significantly increase in the Anaerobic Power Performance. Further the results of the study showed that the combined intermittent training and Continuous Running group was found to be better than the Intermittent training group and Continuous Running group in Anaerobic Power.
