EFFECT OF MODERATE LOAD TRAINING ON DEVELOPMENT OF THROWING VELOCITY AMONG MALE HANDBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Handball is one of the Olympic Games demanding increased physical
fitness of its players moderate load training is introduced to these players in order to increase
efficiency performance especially throwing velocity. OBJECTIVE: This study was done
to find out the effects of moderate load training in the development of throwing velocity
among handball players. METHOD: This study is of the quasi experimental design and pre
test&post test type and was trained with moderate load. PROCEDURE: The selected
subjects were trained with 55%-75% load (moderate load) with Bench press for duration of
6 weeks the improvement in throwing velocity is to be noted. OUTCOME MEASURES:
Functional throwing velocity index. RESULTS: The results of the study reveal that there is
an improvement.
