Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of concurrent training on speed among hockey players. To achieve the purpose of the study thirty hockey players were selected from Alagappa Univerity, Karaikudi Tamilnadu, India during the year 2021. The subject’s age ranges from 18 to 25 years. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups consists of 15 subjects each namely experimental group and control group. The experimental group underwent a concurrent training programme for six weeks. The control group was not taking part in any training during the course of the study. Speed was taken as criterion variable in this study. The selected subjects were tested on speed was measured through 50 yards dash. Pre-test was taken before the training period and post- test was measured immediately after the six week training period. Statistical technique‘t’ ratio was used to analyse the means of the pre-test and post test data of experimental group and control group. The results revealed that there was a significant difference found on the criterion variable. The difference is found due to concurrent training given to the experimental group on speed when compared to control group.

Key words: Concurrent training, Speed and‘t’ ratio.
