ABSTRACT

The study was conducted in order to find out the effect of functional training on performance of female gymnasts on uneven bars, 15 sub –elite and elite gymnasts were randomly selected for the study.  In place of their regular conditioning exercises the gymnasts were asked to replace it with functional training exercises prepared by the researcher for a period of 16 week, 5 days a week, during the evening sessions for 90 minutes. A pre and post-test were conducted using the standard evaluation of routines prescribed by the federation international gymnastics. The data of the pre and post-test were statistically analysed using the paired ‘t’ test and the study showed a significant difference at a level of 0.05. It can thus be concluded that functional training improves the performance of female gymnasts on uneven bars. It can also be applied for improving performance of gymnasts on other apparatus and can have an extended application to training sportsmen for other sports and games as well.
