This study aimed to investigate the effects ofrnstructured netball-specific drills on upper limb muscle strength and endurancernin school-level players. The research focused on students from grades 9 to 12,rnwith a total of 60 participants selected through random sampling. The subjectsrnwere allocated into two groups: Experimental Group (Group A): 30rnparticipants underwent a structured netball drill training program. ControlrnGroup (Group B): 30 participants received no specialized training. Musclernstrength and endurance of the upper limbs were assessed using the lift test. Arnone-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to analyze the data, and thernLeast Significant Difference (LSD) test was applied at a significance level of p<0.05rnto determine statistically meaningful differences between groups. Findingsrnrevealed that the 12-week netball drill training intervention resulted inrnsignificant improvements in upper limb muscle strength and endurance among thernexperimental group compared to the control group (p<0.05). Thesernresults suggest that structured netball-specific conditioning drills canrneffectively enhance muscular performance in young athletes.
