Abstract This study was designed to investigate the impact of weight training and complex training on selected motor fitness parameters among college handball players. To achieve the purpose of the study (N=45) forty five men handball players were selected from SKSS Arts College, Thirupanandal, Tamilnadu, India as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged from 19 to 25years. The selected subjects were divided into three equal groups (N=15). Group I underwent weight training. Group II underwent complex training. Group III acted as control group who did not undergo any specialized training program other than their daily routine. The motor fitness parameters such as speed, agility and leg explosive power were selected as dependent variables and they were assessed by 50 yards dash, Illinois agility test and standing broad jump respectively. The subjects were concerned with their particular training for a period of six weeks, alternatively three days per week. The collected data from three groups prior to and immediately after the training programme on selected criterion variables were statistically analyzed with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 for all the cases to test the hypothesis. The result of the study reveals that the weight training and complex training groups achieved significant improvement on selected motor fitness parameters such as speed, agility and leg explosive power of college men handball players.
