Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of resistance training on selected physical variables among female hockey players. To achieve the purpose of the present study, thirty female hockey players from PKR College of Arts and Science for women and Gobi Arts and Science College, Erode, Tamilnadu, were selected as subjects at random and their age ranged from 18 to 21 years. The study was formulated as a true random group design, consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The subjects (n=30) were randomly assigned to two equal groups as resistance training group (RTG) and control group (CG). The resistance training group participated for a period of eight weeks for alternate three days in a week and the post-tests were taken. To find out the difference between the two groups analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used. The findings of the study has indicated that eight weeks of resistance training have significant effect on selected physical variables i.e., speed and agility of female hockey players. Hence the study reveals that resistance training has an important role for the development of speed and agility on hockey players.
