The intent of the experimentation was to realize the influence of high speed power training with perceptual skill training on shooting ability among inter-collegiate male hockey players. To carry out the experimentation, Sixty (N=60) inter-collegiate male hockey players studying various arts and science colleges in Virudhunagar district affiliated to Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai, were randomly chosen as subjects. The chosen subjects were separated randomly into three groups of twenty each i.e., (n=20) Group-I underwent high speed power training program, Group-II underwent high speed power training program with perceptual skill training program, Group-III were act as control group. The age limits of the chosen subjects were ranged from 18-21 years. The training groups were underwent the particular training program for the period of twelve weeks. The dependent variables chosen for this experimentation was hockey shooting ability. All the chosen subjects were tested on hockey shooting ability (Harbans Singh Field Hockey Test) before and immediately after the training program. The pre-test and post-test scores were engaged for proper factual examination with dependent "t"-test and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the "F" ratio for adjusted post-test means was found to be significant, the Scheffe's Post hoc test was apply to decide the paired mean differences. The 0.05 level of confidence was fixed for all the cases. The outcome of the experimentation also exposed that there was a significant development on hockey shooting ability after the high speed power training program, high speed power training program with perceptual skill training program and significant variation were found between the training groups on hockey shooting ability in favour of high speed power training program with perceptual skill training program.
