The calculated F- ratio for speed (3.32), agility (8.23), vital capacity (27.09) & Vo2 max (8.08) was significant at 0.05 levels. On the basis of the analysis of data and the limitation of the present study, speed result showed better performance in post preparatory phase (PPP) timing of the subject was decrease accordingly from preparatory to competition phase and with regards to agility it showed positive effect of training in different phase of training. On the other hand physiological variables i. e. vital capacity (27.09) and Vo2 max (8.08) were found significant.
