    Effects of Neuromuscular Training and Yoga Training on Selected Motor Qualities of Pubertal Tribal Girl Students
    (Avinashilingam, 2025-01) Sobha K; Guide - Dr. P. Nandhini
    This study explores the Effects of Neuromuscular Training (NMT) and Yoga Training (YT) on selected motor qualities of pubertal tribal girl students, a demographic often underrepresented in sports science research. The motor qualities assessed included Speed, Agility, Flexibility, Muscular Strength Endurance, Cardiorespiratory endurance,and balance all of which play a critical role in physical fitness and overall motor performance.A total of 45 participants aged 12–15 years were selected and divided into three groups: the Neuromuscular Training group (NMT), the Yoga Training group (YT), and a Control group, each consisting of 15 students. The intervention was 16 weeks, with sessions conducted four times a week under supervised conditions. A pre-test and post-test design was implemented to evaluate the impact of the interventions. Standardized tests were used to measure each motor quality, ensuring reliability and validity. The results showed that when compared to the control group, which did not engage in any particular training, the euromuscular Training (NMT) and Yoga Training (YT) groups both showed notable increases in motor qualities. Because the activities were dynamic, the NMT group demonstrated significant improvements in speed, agility, flexibility, muscular strength endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, and balance.However, because yoga practice involves contemplative and controlled movements, theYoga Training (YT) group saw larger increases in flexibility and balance.The need for tailored physical training programs for pubertal tribal girl students is highlighted by these findings, particularly in tribal communities where access to such programs is most appreciable. Because of their complementing advantages, yoga training (YT) and neuromuscular training (NMT) show promise for being incorporated into the physical education curriculum in schools. This would help indigenous girls' entire evelopment in addition to promoting increased physical fitness. Keywords : Neuromuscular Training, Yoga Training, Motor Qualities, Pubertal Tribal Girls, Speed, agility, flexibility, muscular strength endurance, cardio respiratory endurance and balance.

    Isolated and Combined Effect of Speed Agility and Quickness Training and Resistance Training on Selected Psychomotor and Physiological Variables among Sprinters
    (Avinashilingam, 2023-12) Selvanayaki S; Dr. R. Saravana Prabha
    Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine the isolation and joint impact of SAQ and resistance trainings on specific psychomotor and physiological variables among sprinters. Implement three different training capsules for selected experimental groups to enhance the speed training determinants among sprinters and also to arbitrate which training capsule yields the most substantial improvements in the targeted variables among the selected groups. Methods: Seventy four female intercollegiate level sprinters falling between the age ranges 18 to 23 were chosen for the study and divided into four groups using randomized control design namely SAQ training group (n=18), resistance training group (n=18), combined SAQ and resistance training group (n=19) as well as control group (n=19). All participants were assessed before and after 12 weeks of intervention. Statistical techniques employed were paired sample t-tests, Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), and Scheffe’s post-hoc test. Results: Statistical results revealed there was significant improvement found between pre and post test mean among sprinters on the chosen dependent variables on both isolated and combined training due to impact of twelve weeks of intervention whereas no significant development found in control group. Significance was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The statistical result also shows there was a notable difference exists among three experimental groups and control group. Conclusion: The Outcome of the study demonstrated that both isolated training capsules exert distinct influences on sprinters performance, with SAQ training enhancing specific anaerobic power, and resistance training predominantly influencing muscle strength. Combined approach showcased a synergistic effect, highlighting the potential increase in reaction time, speed, co-ordination, explosive power, resting pulse rate and oxygen saturation including muscle strength and anaerobic power that addresses multiple facets of sprinting prowess Key words: SAQ training, resistance training, combined training, isolated training, sprinters, psychomotor, physiological 1 Research scholar, Department of Physical Education, Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India 2 Associate Professor, Department of Physical Education, Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India
