The point of the present study was to find out the combination of game specific exercise and imagery training on speed and agility among handballers. To achieve the purpose of the study men handball players were selected from Government Arts and Science College, (Affiliated to Bharathiar University, Coimbatore) Modakkurichi, Erode, Tamilnadu, India. The subject’s age ranges from 19 to 24years. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups consists of 15 handball men each namely experimental group and control group. The experimental group underwent a game specific exercise and imagery training package programme for twelve weeks. The control group was not taking part in any training during the course of the study. Speed and agility was taken as criterion variable in this study. The selected subjects were tested on speed was measured through 50mts dash and agility was measured shuttle run. Pre-test was taken before the training period and post- test was measured immediately after the twelve-week training period. Statistical technique‘t’ ratio was used to analyze the means of the pre-test and post test data of experimental group and control group. The results revealed that there was a significant difference found on the criterion variable. The difference is found due to game specific exercise and imagery training package given to the experimental group on speed and agility when compared to control group.
