Abstract:
This study was designed to effects of complex training on selected corporeal functional and skill performance variables of intercollegiate volleyball players. To achieve the purpose of the study, 40 volleyball players was selected affiliated colleges from Bharathiar University Coimbatore district, Tamilnadu. The age of the subjects ranged from 18 to 25 years. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups (n=20). Group- I underwent Complex training (CT), and Group II acted as the control group (CG). The training was given to the experimental group for 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) for the period of twelve weeks. The control group was not given any sort of training except for their routine work. The corporeal variables, Leg explosive power (standing broad jump), and Arm explosive power (seated medicine ball throw), functional variables BMI (body mass index), Resting pulse rate (pulse oximeter), Skill performance variable Volley test (Russel Lange Volleyball) The data collected from the subjects was statistically analysed with ‘t’ ratio to find out significant improvement if any at 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the Leg explosive power, Arm explosive power, BMI, resting pulse rate, volley test improved significantly due to the impact of Complex training (CT) training despite the limitations of (diet, climate, lifestyle) status and previous training. The results of the present study coincide findings of the investigations done by different experts in the field of sports sciences. The Experimental group showed a highly significant result when compared with control group.
