The present study explores the impact of 12 weeks Fartlek training and Circuit training on resting pulse rate among men kho kho players. district, state, inter collegiate, inter university and national level and international participated male kho kho players chosen from kho kho academy at J Panguluru, Inkollu Mandal, Prakasam district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The chosen N=33 kho kho player’s age ranged from 17-24 years as per their academy record. The chosen male kho kho players randomly and equally distributed n=11 into 3-groups namely Fartlek training group [FLTG=11], Circuit training group [CTG=11] and control group [CONG=11]. All the three groups’ kho kho players’ measurement on resting pulse rate parameter score were collected in the beginning and after the 12-weeks of fartlek training and circuit training. The collected measurement of resting pulse rate parameter was analyzed by analysis of covariance to find the significant in pretest and posttest mean and adjusted posttest means found significant post hoc pair wise comparison was applied by scheffe’s post hoc test at 0.05 fixed level of confidence by used statistical package of the social science. The present study found that resting pulse rate Manual method (radial of the wrist) performance test in numbers significantly reduce in treatment groups namely FLTG [Fartlek Training Group] and CTG [Circuit Training Group] kho kho players when comparison between pre score and post score on resting pulse rate. Further it was concluded that FLTG kho kho players shown best performance on resting pulse rate when comparison with CTG kho kho players and CONG [Control group] kho kho players.
