Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analysis endurance among different levels of school handball players. Sixty (60) male players were selected they were divided into three groups (20) twenty in each. They were classified into junior, senior and super senior these boys were selected from AGM Higher secondary school, Thuraiyur. The subjects age range between 10 to 17 years was selected. Endurance was selected as criterion variable and tested by 600 yard run. ANOVA test was used to compare the mean differences between the three groups. The result showed that there was no significant difference existing among these groups on endurance (F = 3.78, p> 0.05). It is concluded that endurance among different levels of handball players remain similar.
