Abstract: The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of own body isometric training on selected strength variables among preadolescence. To achieve the purpose of this study, 30 preadolescence boys were selected as subjects at randomly from Government Higher Secondary School, Alangulam, Tamilnadu, India. Their age was 13 and 14 years only. The selected subjects were randomly divided into two groups, such as group ‘A’ own body isometric training (n=15) group and group ‘B’ acted as control group (n=15). Group ‘A’ underwent own body isometric training for three alternative days per week and each session lasted for an hour for six weeks. Control group was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The abdominal strength was assessed by bent knee sit-ups test method (in numbers) and back strength was assessed by isometric back strength test (in seconds) were selected as variables. The pre and post tests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the training program. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the dependent “t” test and Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The level of significant was fixed at 0.05 level. It was concluded that the own body isometric training group had shown significantly improved on abdominal strength and back strength. However the control group had not shown any significant improvement on abdominal strength and back strength.
