ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to find out the Influence of cross training on selected boi-motor abilities and physiological variables among hockey players. To achieve the purpose of the present study, thirty hockey players those who are studying in intercollegiate hockey players, India were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 18 to 25 years. The subjects were divided into two equal groups of fifteen subjects each. Group I acted as Experimental Group I (cross training), and Group II acted as Control Group. The duration of experimental period was 6 weeks. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and scheffe’s post hoc test was used. Consisting of Jumping jacks, high knees, lunges, butt kicks, burpees, plank, skaters, legs down, skiers and the control group was not provided with any investigational treatment. Initial scores on selected bio-motor, physiological variables, abdominal strength endurance, resting hart rate of the subjects were collected using standard tests. The results proved those six weeks cross training significantly improved bio-motor, physiological variables. It was concluded that cross training can be imparted to intercollegiate level hockey players.

Key words: Training, Jumping, High knees, Lunges, Butt kicks, Burpees, Plank, Skaters, Skiers.
