The intention of the present study was to find out the effect of repeated sprint training on selected speed performances among Athletes (Stride length and Stride frequency). Thirty (30) male athletes were ranged from aged 20 to 25 years were randomly selected from Anna Stadium, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu State. They selected subjects (30 male sprinters) have been randomly divided into two equal groups namely Repeated sprint training (RST) group (RSTG) (N=15) and Control Group (CG) (N=15). Six weeks repeated sprint training (RST) programme has been formulated to see the effectiveness of given training programme on Stride length and Stride frequency of male athletes. The Stride length has been tested by 'Stride Length Test (10m Marking Method) and Stride frequency has been tested by Stride Frequency Test (5-Second Sprint Method) on before the training starts and after completion of six weeks repeated sprint training (RST) programme. Significant positive changes occur in Stride length and stride frequency has been found by analysing and comparing the pre-test and post-test score through paired sample 't' test and ANCOVA among the male athletes of RSTG and CG. So, this study was concluded that six weeks of repeated sprint training (RST) programme was shown effective in the improvement of Stride length and Stride frequency among male athletes. However, the control group had not shown any significant positive changes on Stride length and Stride frequency while because they were not engaged to participated in to any specific training programme apart from their routine works.
