Abstract

The objective of the study was to find out the varied modalities of training on performance variable of male cricket players. For the purpose of this study, thirty male cricket selected subject from Art and science college Ooty, and their age ranged from 18 to 24 years. The 60 Subjects were randomly selected and they divided into four equal groups of 15 each, such as weight/sprint training group, aerobic training group, combination group and control group. The experimental group 1 underwent weight/sprint training for three days per week for eight weeks. The experimental group 2 underwent aerobic training for three days per week for eight weeks. The experimental group 3 underwent combination of weight/sprint training and aerobic training for alternative days per week for eight weeks The selected criterion variables were assessed using standard tests and procedures, prior to and immediately after the training programme. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used as a statistical procedure to establish the significant difference, if any, existing between pretest and posttest data on selected dependent variables. The findings of the study revealed that due to the effect of eight weeks combination of weight/sprint and aerobic training showed the better improvement. The selected physical  variables such as speed, flexibility and standing throw have significantly improved.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the interference effect of varied modalities training on explosive power and VO2 max of male cricket players. For this purpose 60 male cricket player were selected from Ooty, Govt. Arts college, TN, India and sedentary healthy men, with mean of age: 20.2 ±1.8 year's old, height: 168 ± 4.6 cm and weight: 63.5 ± 5.4 kg, voluntarily participated in  this study. Initially, subjects were randomly assigned to one of four training groups;  weight/sprint (n=15), aerobic (n=15), weight/sprint with aerobic (n=15) and control (n=15). Weight/sprint training group performed weight training followed by sprint training for 6 weeks (3days/w, 6 exercises/ 3set, 75-85% 1-RM/ 40-50 % HRR, 3 sprint 4-6 reputation, aerobic training group performed step aerobic training program for 6 weeks (3days/w, 25min :30sec:25 min for 40-50 HHR , and combined group performed combination of weight/sprint with aerobic  training for 6 weeks. Control group did not participate in any of the above. All subjects performed VO2max  (Bruce test) and explosive power (vertical  jump test) before and after of the training program. T-test and One–way ANOVA, ANCOVA and scheffe’s post hoc test was applied for examining the hypothesizes. The result of statistical analysis showed that there is significant difference on VO2 max between combination (10.6 %) versus weight/sprint (7.4 %) and aerobic (5.1 %) (p = 0.95) and on explosive power between combination (26.5 %) versus weight/sprint (19.5 %) and aerobic (9.82 %) (p = 0.31).  Conclusion: combination of weight/sprint with aerobic training produced significant improvement on Vo2 max and explosive power better then the weight/sprint training, aerobic training and control group.
