Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of coordination exercises on upper and lower limb power of teen age boys. The subjects of the study were 30 male students were selected by simple random sampling method. The subject’s age ranged between 13 to 16 years. The explosive power was selected as the dependent variable for the study. All the subjects were tested on the selected dependent variable on both limbs such as Sargent jump (lower limb) and throwing a 200 grams medicine ball to the farthest distance (upper limb) before training and after training programme. The subjects underwent coordination exercise such as multi directional running, Jumping and skipping, opposite arm circles, simultaneous arm and leg circles, cross step–over running and Obstacles running for twelve weeks, three days per week for 45 to 60 minutes per day with suitable warming–up and cooling down exercises. The results of the study concluded that coordination exercises significantly increased the explosive power of the lower and upper limbs of teen age boys.
