The results presented in Table II showed that the pre test mean value of speed
(M: 8.94) was improved to 8.50 after six weeks sand training with mean difference of
0.44. The obtained ‘t’ value of 5.08 was greater than the required ‘t’ value of 2.048.
Hence, it was proved that there was significant improvement in speed.

CONCLUSION
It was concluded that six weeks sand training significantly improved selected
physical fitness variables such as balance and speed of the Men Field Hockey players.
