Completed

• Conditions: Physically Fit

• Registration Number: CTRI/2012/09/002984
• Lead Sponsor: Government Medical College Aurangabad

Brief Summary

The present study is beingcarried out to compare the effects of Sprint Interval Training onNerve Conduction Velocity, cardiopulmonary fitness, audiovisual reaction timeand performance variables in Hockey players

44 hockey players will be enrolled for the study.

By computer generated Randomization and proper allocation concealment and blinding, the study subjects will be allocated to regular training and sprint interval training groups.

Following parameters will be measured at the beginning of study and after 6 weeks.

Primary outcome: NCV,

Secondary outcome: 1.  Cardiorespiratoryfitness (Physical Fitness Index) 2.  RepeatedSprint Test, Speed test. 3. AudiovisualReaction Time

Statistical analysis will be done to compare the effect of both interventions.
