Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the effect of 12 weeks intensive sports specific endurance training on selected motor fitness components 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. Our result showed twelve weeks of intensive sports specific endurance circuit training failed to show significant interaction effect on motor fitness components like speed and power (p > 0.05). We conclude that intensive sports specific endurance circuit training for 12 weeks is effective enough in maintaining motor fitness components like speed and power of handball players.
