Abstract

Introduction: Physical fitness is a specialized concept and the meaning of the term is highly volatile and it is difficult to delineate the meaning as there are different streams denoted to the concept of fitness. Different experts in the field of physical education and sports sciences identified different components for physical fitness. Some other qualities which underlie motor performance, but are not essential for basic physical fitness are included in motor fitness. The skill related physical fitness may be required in different combinations by different sporting persons, according to the sport they are participating. The purpose of the study was to analyse the effects of four months of training, incorporating the selected exercise modalities viz stretching, Aerobic dancing, Weight training and Plyometric power exercises in several combinations on the Skill Related Physical Fitness components among young men of 20 to 24 years and who were never exposed to any kind of regular physical conditioning earlier.

Methodology: Six experimental groups and one control group, each group consisted of fifteen subjects randomly assigned to the group out of the total of hundred and five subjects selected. Among these seven six activity groups were given combination of stretching, plyometric training, aerobics and weight training. These groups skill related physical fitness components were measured pre and post experimentation and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to know whether the experimental variables caused significant change in the criterion variables and also Scheffe’s post hoc test at 0.05 level of significance.

Results of the study: Analysis of Covariance elicits that the Skill related physical fitness among the seven experimental groups differ significantly as the obtained F value ie 7.47 was higher when compared to the critical F value ie 2.21.

Conclusions: Stretching, Plyometrics and Weight Training group recorded highest significant difference on post test mean value of the Skill Related Physical Fitness and hence, Stretching, Plyometrics and Weight training in sequence showed effective results in improving the Skill Related Physical Fitness than any other combination. Stretching, Plyometrics and Weight Training protocol and Stretching, Aerobics and Weight Training protocols caused for significant improvement in the Skill Related Physical Fitness of the subjects.
