EFFECT OF KETTLEBELL TRAINING ON AGILITY AND MUSCULAR STRENGTH AMONG UNIVERSITY-LEVEL MEN HANDBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

A university-level men's handball team set out to investigate the effects of kettle bell training on agility and muscular strength. Our study's purpose was to investigate the effects of handball on health among senior men aged 18 to 25 years old from the Chennai region, Tamil Nadu, India. 15 subjects in each group were analysed in a split-group design. Kettle bell training was conducted by Gathering-A over a period of six weeks, while Gathering-B was a control group that did not take part in any special training. The dependent variables selected were agility and muscular strength. The T-test was used to assess agility, and the wet push-up to test muscular strength. Randomization was used at pre- and post-tests. Data were collected before and after the 6-week training period and statistically analysed through an 'ANOVA' test, in order to determine whether there was a significant change in some variables after the training period. Among university-level men handball players, kettle bell training resulted in significant improvements in agility and muscular strength.
