Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of systematic drill training on selected physical fitness and skill-related variables among college women athletes. A total of thirty (N = 30) college-level women athletes, aged 18 to 23 years, were randomly selected from Thiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu. The participants were divided into two equal groups of 15 each. The experimental group underwent systematic drill training, while the control group followed their regular routine. The training program lasted six weeks, with each session lasting 45 minutes. The selected physical fitness variables included balance, assessed using the Stork Stand Test (Johnson & Nelson, 1979), and leg explosive power, measured through the Vertical Jump Test (Sayers, 1999). The skill-related variable, shot put performance, was evaluated using a subjective rating test. Pre- and post-assessments were conducted to determine the effects of the intervention. The collected data were analyzed statistically using the dependent t-test. The results revealed that the experimental group, which participated in systematic drill training, demonstrated significant improvements in the measured physical fitness and skill-related variables compared to the control group
