Abstract:
The study was designed to investigate the effect of circuit training on selected skill
related fitness of Ambo University Males Athletic project having age ranked between 17
and 18 years old. The Experimental research design consists of an Experimental group (n
=10) and they were convenience selected. Pretest and post-test results of speed, agility,
and power were taken. After the pretest, 8 weeks of circuit training were given to the
Ambo University Athletics project 10 males were selected for the experimental group at a
short distance from 20 total population, the researcher was used convenience sample
techniques, because the researcher was selected participant depend on their field of event,
age, and gender, and pre-test and post-test were used for quantitative data collection and
analysis by paired sample t-test method. Data were entered into SPSS version 26. To
determine the significant difference between the pretest and post-test of speed, agility,
and power due to circuit training, such as 35m sprint run, squat jump, compass leaps,
astride jump back stretch, run between cone with agility, leg raise, and it develop power
befoul it develop speed, and agility P< 0.05 level of significance. The result of this study
showed that the post-test of the Experimental group Speed (35m run sprint) Test means
(M = 5.2620) were statistically significantly greater than the Pre-test of the Experimental
group Speed (35m run) Test means (M = 5.4630), p < 0.05: post-test of Experimental
group Agility Test Means (M = 11.0500) were statistically significantly greater than Pre test of Experimental group Agility Test means (M = 11.8310), p < 0.05 and Posttest
Experimental group Vertical jump (power) Test means (M = 0.4230) were statistically
significantly greater than Pre-test of Experimental group Vertical jump (power) test
means (M = 0.4130), p < 0.05. Circuit training is statistical significant on Ambo
University male Athletic project having age ranked between 17 and 18-year-old trainees
for improving their skill-related fitness components (agility, speed, and power).
