Study aim: the aim of the study was examine weight training is a full-body workout that promotes physiological variables among college level men handball players. It provides with extraordinary benefits. It improves overall skills. It improves physiological functioning and strengthens the overall body capacity of men handball players. Materials and methods: Therefore the purpose of the study was to examine the effect of weight training exercises on selected physiological variables of college level men handball players. To achieve the purpose of the study college level handball players participated were randomly selected from in and around Kerala, and their age was ranged between 17 to 23 years. The subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups (n=15). All the subjects were divided in to two groups with 15 subjects each as experimental and control group. Group-I underwent weight training exercises for a period of 6 weeks and group-II acted as control who did not participate in any special training other than the regular routine. The Physiological variables such as systolic blood pressure , diastolic blood pressure and Body mass index were selected as dependent variables. systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure was tested Citizen make digital B.P monitor unit measurement in mm Hg. The dependent t test was applied to determine the difference between the means of two groups. To find out whether there was any significant difference between the experimental and control groups. To test the level of significant of difference between the means 0.05 level of confidence was fixed. Results:The result of the study shows that, there was a significant improvement takes place on systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure of college level men handball players. Conclusions:Improved of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure after regular weight training exercises is beneficial for college level men handball players. Therefore weight training exercises covered in this study are beneficial for the handball players.
