Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the outcome of tratak meditation and mental imaginary training on physiological volatile among jet set handball players. To achieve the purpose of the study sixty handball players having 18 to 22 years of age, were randomly chosen as subjects from Tamil Nadu, India's colleges in order to fulfil the study's objectives. There were four equal groups of fifteen focuses each. Group I as Experimental Group (Tratak meditation), Group II as Experimental Group (Mental imagery training), Group III as Experimental Group (Combined training) and Group IV as control group underwent no training. The dependent volatile vital capacity was selected for this study and it was assessed by spirometer. The duration of the training period was restricted to 12weeks and the number of sessions is three days per week.The data was collected prior to and immediately after the training period of twelve weeks. The data obtained from the experimental groups before and after the experimental period were analyzed by using the statistical technique with depended ‘t’ test and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever, the obtained ‘F’ ratio for the adjusted post-test was found to be significant the Scheffe's Post hoc test was used to access the paired mean differences. In all cases, 0.05 level is fixed as level of confidence to test the significance which is considered as appropriate. The result of the study showed that there was a significant improvement in the experimental groups namely tratak meditation, mental imagery and combined training group have significantly improved in the selected dependent component namely vital capacity Significant differences were also found among tratak meditation, mental imagery and combined training group and control group in the dependent volatile such as vital capacity. The combined training group was found to be the best of the three training groups in improving vital capacity.
