Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to know the effect of Circuit training on general motor ability of school going adolescent students. One hundred twenty school going adolescent students, age ranging between 13 to 15 years acted as subjects and assigned to two groups (one experimental and one control group) with 60 students each. The experimental group was Circuit Training group. General motor ability parameters such as 50 yds dash, Standing Broad Jump, Running High Jump and Shot put were measured before and after training. The experimental Group (Circuit training) was administered with the selected programme, thrice in a week for a duration of 6 weeks under direct supervision of the researcher. The analysis of data revealed that the experimental group, showed significant gains in performance of general motor ability after administration of training for duration of 6 weeks. The control group did not show any significant increase in the performance
