Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to compare the abdominal strength endurance between handball and volleyball players of Annamalai University. We have selected thirty (30) male students who play either handball or Volleyball from Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Annamalai University. These subjects were equally classified into two groups (handball = 15 & volleyball = 15). The selected subjects were tested on abdominal strength endurance by sit-ups test which was selected as criterion variable. The collected data was analysed using an independent t test to find out the significant difference between handball and volleyball players. The result of our study showed no difference in abdominal strength endurance between handball and volleyball players (p < 0.05). It is concluded that abdominal strength endurance plays a vital role in both game remain equal.
