EFFECT OF FARTLEK TRAINING ON SELECTED PHYSICAL FITNESS AND SKILL PERFORMANCE VARIABLES AMONG INTERCOLLEGIATE LEVEL HOCKEY
Introduction: increasing a runner's speed and endurance. Fartlek is a relatively unstructured type of continuous training that originated in Scandinavia. It is performed over natural t about 45 min. The route is predetermined, but the pace is varied from fast bursts to jogging and walking, according to the terrain, and the disposition of the runner. Depending on the precise composition, Fartlek training ca Many coaches use Fartlek training because it provides relief from highly structured types of training. Purpose: fitness and skill performance variables among intercollegiate level hockey players hypothesized that there would be significant differences due to fartlek training on selected physical fitness and skill performance variables post treatment. It was also hypothesized that experimental group would show significant difference than the control group on selected skill related fitness variables among intercollegiate level h players. intercollegiate level were selected as subjects to achieve the purpose of this study. They were dived into two groups of fifteen each. One group underwent weeks on fartlek training and another group acted as control group. The performance in 150 meters sprint was used to measure the speed endurance. The performance in Sit ups was used to measure the muscular en the ability of pass receiving, fielding and drive while moving. collected from the subject on selected physical and physiological variable by using 't' ratio, 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the level of significance. study concluded that speed endurance, muscular endurance and ability of pass receiving, fielding and drive while moving, intercollegiate school hockey players.
