Abstract :

The study was designed to investigate the “motor fitness parameters response to core strength training on handball players. The experimental group was given training for the period of 8 weeks of core strength training. The criterion variables were chosen namely speed, agility, leg explosive power and upper body strength. All the dependent variables were assessed before and after the training period. The collected data on motor fitness parameters due to effect of core strength training was analyzed by computing mean and standard deviation. In order to find out the significant improvement if any, ‘t’ test was applied. 0.05. The study revealed that the motor fitness parameters were significantly improved due to the influence of core strength training.
