Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of six weeks specific drills with meditation on skill performance variables of inter-collegiate male hockey players. To achieve the purpose of the study (N꞊30), thirty male hockey players were randomly selected from Dr. N.G.P. College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore. Their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. They were divided into two equals groups (n꞊15). The subjects were tested in order to find out skill performance of namely as Passing Dribbling, and Shooting. The group I was considered as Experimental Group and group II was considered as Control Group. The investigator did not made any attempt to equate the group. The experimental group was given six weeks specific drills with meditation for three days per week. The control group was not given any treatment. Thus the collected data on passing, dribbling and shooting were tested using‘t’ ratio to find out the efficacy of six weeks specific drills with meditation. The results derived from analyzing the variance exist between the male hockey players of six weeks specific drills and experimental group and control group on pre test and post test.
