Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of different intensities of resistance training on selected strength parameters among men handball players. To achieve this purpose, 45 male students studying in the various departments of Annamalai University, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu (India) were selected. They were divided into three equal groups and each group consisted of 15 subjects. Group-I performed high intensity resistance training, group-II performed moderate intensity resistance training and group-III acted as a control group. The training period for both the experimental groups was twelve weeks and a control group who did not participate any special training apart from the regular curricular activities. The criterion variables tested were muscle strength and strength endurance. The collected data from these three groups prior and after the training period was statistically examined for significant difference if any, by applying Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Since three groups were involved, the Scheffe S test was used as a post - hoc test to find out any difference between the groups. The result of the study shows that there was significant improvement for both the training groups of different intensities men handball players on selected criterion variables.
