BOSUBALL TRAINING AND ITS IMPACT TOWARDS PHYSICAL VARIABLES OF HANDBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

To achieve the purpose of this study the investigators selected thirty handball players from Bengaluru, India and their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. Training occurred three times per week with at least one day of rest between sessions for twelve weeks. A total of 30 handball players were enlisted and divided into two groups: experiment (15) and control (15). The players in the experiment group participated in 12-week training sessions, while the players in the control group did not get any treatment. Speed was assessed by 50 metre dash, agility was assessed by ‘T’ agility run test and balance was assessed by stork stand. The test items were carefully administered with skillfull hands and proper precautions were given. Single group design was used in this study. Dependent ‘t’ test was computed to find out the difference between initial and final means. The study found that bosuball training is a successful strategy for developing speed, agility and balance with handball players.
