The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of different packages of training programs on anthropometric and physiological variables in young, curious volleyball players. To achieve this purpose of the study, sixty male volleyball players were selected at random to study for a bachelor's degree in the Department of Physical Education, AVVM. Sri Pushpam College, (Autonomous) of Physical Education, Poondi, Tanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 and 23 years. They were divided into four equal groups of fifteenplayers: the circuit training group (Group I), the plyometric training group (Group II), the SAQ training group (Group III), and the control group (Group IV). Groups I and III underwent their respective training programs for three days per week for twelve weeks; they did not undergo any special training programs apart from their regular physical education curriculum. The control group did not go for any training. All the subjects were tested prior to and after the experimentaltreatment periods on selected criterion variables related to physical fitness. The followingvariables, such as arm girth and breath holding Time, were selected as criterion variables: Arm girth was assessed by a measuring tape (in centimeters), and breath holding Time was assessed by a Nose clip method (In seconds). All the subjects in the three groups were tested on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the training program as pre- and post-tests. Ananalysis of covariance 35 (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference, if any, among the groups on each selected criterion variable separately. In all the cases, a.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the significance, which was considered appropriate. There was a significant difference between the circuit training group, plyometric training group, SAQ training group, and the control group on criterion variables such as arm girth and breath holding Time
circuit training group, plyometric training group, SAQ training group and the control group on criterion variables among arm girth and breath holding Time for the volleyballplayers.
