Abstract:
The study aimed to explore the influence of sequencial hockey skill training on physical fitness variables for men hockey players. The hypothesis posited that eight weeks of sequencial hockey skill training would significantly impact selected physical fitness variables in men hockey players. For this investigation, 30 randomly selected men hockey players from SAI training center, Bangalore district, Tamilnadu, India, aged between 17 to 21 years, were chosen as subjects. The research employed a pretest-posttest random group design, incorporating an experimental group (Group ‘A’) and a control group (Group ‘B’), each comprising fifteen participants. Group ‘A’ underwent sequencial hockey skill training, while Group ‘B’ received no training. speed and leg explosive power were assessed using the Timing gate test and sargent jump, respectively. Before the eight-week experimental period commenced, we conducted pre-tests to assess the selected physical fitness variables in all 30 subjects. Subsequently, post-tests were carried out at the conclusion of the experimental period, with scores meticulously recorded. Statistical analysis was conducted with a predetermined level of significance set at a confidence level of 0.05. The study results revealed a significant improvement in speed and leg sergeant power among participants in the core strength training group.
