Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to find out the Comparative Effect of Aerobic Training with Two Different Frequencies and Free Hand Exercise on Speed and Explosive Power Parameters of Men Volleyball Players. The study was conducted on forty five (N=45) Volleyball players who were randomly selected from various Engineering Colleges of Zone–VIII Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India during 2012–2013. The age of the subjects were ranged between 18 to 21. The selected players was assigned in to three groups of fifteen each(n=15) , Group –I underwent Aerobic training with three days per week, Group –II underwent Aerobic training with five days per week and Group III underwent free hand exercises. Speed and Explosive power were selected as dependent variables. Speed was assessed by 50 meters run test and Explosive power was assessed by Vertical Jump tests. All the subjects were tested prior to and immediately after the training period of twelve weeks for all the selected variables. The data collected data from the three groups prior to and immediately after the training programme on the selected criterion variables were statistically analyzed with Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the �F� ratio for adjusted post test means was found to be significant, Scheffe�s post hoc test was followed to determine which of the paired mean differences was significant. In all the cases .05 level of confidence was fixed to test the hypotheses. Speed and Explosive Power showed significant difference among the groups. Aerobic training with five days per week group showed better performance than other selected groups.
