Abstract :

We examined the effect of Isolated and combined effect of general and specific fitness training packages on selected psychological variables and skill performance of volleyball players. The 12– week –long exercise intervention included 60–min of moderate–to–vigorous General fitness training, Specific fitness training group and General and Specific fitness training five times per week. The control group was not exposed to any of additional activity other than their routine. The study was formulated as a random group design.  In this study, 60 male volleyball players were randomly selected as subjects and their age ranged between 14–17 years. A pre and post test was employed for this investigation. The subjects were randomly divided into four groups (three experimental and one control group). Group I (n=15; GFTG) had undergone General fitness training, group II (n=15; SFTG) had undergone Specific fitness training group, group III (n=15; GSFTG) had undergone Combined General and Specific fitness training and group IV (n=15; CG) as control. All the subjects were tested prior and after the 12 weeks training period.  Results: The results reveal that the interventions had an impact on the selected variables to a similar degree in all experimental groups; it was observed that the mean gains and losses made from pre and post test were statistically significant.
