EFFECT OF LADDER DRILLS AND CONE DRILLS ON AGILITY AMONG KHO-KHO PLAYERS

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of ladder drills and cone drills on agility among Kho-Kho players. Agility, a critical performance factor in Kho-Kho, requires rapid acceleration, deceleration, and directional changes. A total of 45 intercollegiate Kho-Kho players, aged 17 to 21 years, were randomly assigned into three equal groups: Ladder Drill Group (n=15), Cone Drill Group (n=15), and Control Group (n=15). The experimental groups underwent their respective training protocols for 12 weeks, while the control group did not receive any special training.
