Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of 12 weeks intensive sports specific endurance training on explosive power and peak anaerobic power of male handball players. Twenty four (30) male handball players were recruited and randomly classified into two groups as intensive sports specific endurance circuit training group (ISSECTG) and control group (CG) of 15 subjects each. The intensive sports specific endurance circuit training was administered 3 days a week for twelve weeks. The result showed that twelve weeks of intensive sports specific endurance circuit training and control group failed to show significant improvement in explosive power (t = 0.078, p = 0.939) and peak anaerobic power (t = 0.080, p = 0.945). It is concluded that ISSECTG maintained explosive power and peak anaerobic power after 12 weeks of training. However, explosive power of handball players was not affected by intensive sports specific endurance circuit training.
