Abstract:
Aim of the study was designed to determine the effect of step aerobic training on agility among college men hockey players. To attain the purpose, thirty men hockey players were selected from Department of Physical Education, Annamalai University, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu. Their age ranged from 18 to 21 years. The subjects were assigned into two groups of fifteen each (N=15).Group-I underwent step aerobic training, and Group-II acted as control. The dependent variable selected for this study was agility and it was assessed by Shuttle run test (Seconds). All the subjects were tested prior to and immediately after the training for the selected variable. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the dependent ‘t’ test and analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level. The result of the study showed that there was a significant difference in the experimental group namely step aerobic training in enhancing the performance of agility. In the control group the obtained ‘f’ value on agility failed to reach significant level.
