        abstract = {The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of explosive resistance training combined with speed training on sprint performance and leg explosive power among handball players. Thirty (N = 30) Inter Collegiate level handball players from Tamil Nadu Physical Education and Sports University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, aged between 18 and 25 years, were selected as subjects for the study. The participants were randomly assigned into two groups of fifteen each: the experimental group underwent explosive resistance training combined with speed training, while the control group did not participate in any specific training programme. The training intervention was carried out for eight weeks, three alternate days per week. Sprint performance and leg explosive power were assessed before and after the training period. The collected data were statistically analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), and the level of significance was set at 0.05. The results of the study revealed that the experimental group showed significant improvements in sprint performance and leg explosive power compared to the control group. It was concluded that explosive resistance training combined with speed training is an effective training method for enhancing sprint speed and explosive power among handball players.},
