Comparative Effects of Super Circuit Training, SAQ Training, and Their Combination on Agility of Basketball Players
The purpose of the study was to find out the isolated and combined effect of super circuit training and SAQ training on agility among basketball players. To achieve the purpose of the present study, sixty basketball players from Chikkaballapura district, Bangalore, Karnataka. The subjects were divided into four equal groups of fifteen each. Pre test was conducted for all the subjects. This initial test scores formed as pre test scores of the subjects. The groups were assigned as Experimental Group I, Experimental Group II, Experimental Group III and Control Group in an equivalent manner. Experimental Group I was exposed to super circuit training, Experimental Group II was exposed to SAQ training, Experimental Group III was exposed to combined training and Control Group was not exposed to any experimental training other than their regular daily activities. The duration of experimental period was 12 weeks. After the experimental treatment, all the subjects were tested on agility. This final test scores formed as post test scores of the subjects. The pre test and post test scores were subjected to statistical analysis using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the significance among the mean differences, whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted test was found to be significant; Scheffe’s post hoc test was used. In all cases 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test hypotheses. The combined training group had shown better performance on agility among basketball players than the other groups.
