Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the Impact of aquatic and land circuit training programme on flexibility among athletes, to achieve that 45 subjects aged from 14 to 17 years in Kavinadu youth sports club ,Pudukkottai, Tamilnadu, India were randomly selected as subjects, subjects (N = 45) were divided into three equal groups. Namely, Group I underwent circuit training, group II underwent aquatic training for three days per week for six weeks and Group - III acted as control group was not given any specific training. Each group consists of 15 subjects. The following criterion variable was chosen namely flexibility. The adjusted post-test means of flexibility, circuit training group, aquatic training group and control group are 17.38, 17.99 and 13.72 respectively on flexibility the obtained ‘F’ ratio of 36.64 for adjusted post-test means is more than the table value of 3.22 for df 2 and 41 required for significance at 0.05 level of confidence on flexibility. There was a significant difference exists between circuit training group and control group, aquatic training group and control group on flexibility. And also there was a significant difference exists between aquatic and circuit training group.
