Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of the study is to find out the changes in physical fitness variables due to isolated and combined effect of game specific drills and game specific training. To solve the problem 60 women volleyball players were selected from various colleges affiliated to Annamalai university Tamil Nadu. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 and 25. They all were healthful and normal. The range of subjects within the study become delimited to 4 groups, viz., Experimental group-I (specific fitness training group), Experimental group-II (Game specific drill training group), Experimental group-III combined group (specific fitness and drill training group) and control group. The criterion variables selected for the study was leg explosive power and muscular endurance and they were measured by the standard test such as vertical jump and sit-ups respectively. After the initial measurement the specially designed training programme named as volleyball specific fitness training programme and volleyball game specific drill training and combined training was to given to the subjects of each experimental groups. Each experimental session was of 45 minutes duration with including warm up and warm down for five days in a week for 12 weeks in the morning sessions only. The data were collected on selected fitness variables namely explosive power and muscular endurance which were assessed by vertical jump and bent knee sit ups respectively before and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The level of significance was fixed at 0.05. The findings of the present study have strongly indicated that that package of specific fitness training and specific drill training and combined training shows significant changes among volleyball players.Key words: Specific Fitness, Game Specific Drills, Explosive Power, Muscular Endurance
