Pre experimental one group pretest post- test design was used among adolescents in selected high school of Udupi District. The study participants (100) were assessed through a questionnaire and selected by purposive sampling. Data shows that mean knowledge score of the group before intervention was 16.96 ± 3.816. After intervention (the planned teaching program), the mean knowledge score was 24.05 ± 3.036 which indicates the significant difference in mean pre-test and post-test knowledge scores, and paired t-test showed the statistical significance for the effectiveness of planned teaching programme (“t”=14.352 and P<0.05). The study concluded that planned teaching was found to be effective in improving the knowledge regarding pubertal changes among adolescent boys and it would be beneficial to manage the physical and psychological problem related to puberty.

The aim of this study is; to investigate the effects of differential training method on hand and leg visual reaction time in high school tennis trainees. 24 trainees (12 girls, 12 boys) attending a tennis course in a high school participated in the study voluntarily. It was determined that the mean age of the participants was 15.00±0.00 years, their body weight was 63.46±10.64 kg, their height was 1.65±0.06 m, and their body mass index was 23.26±2.91. According to the results of the pre-tests, 2 homogeneous groups of 12 people were created. One group formed the Differential Group (DG), the other the Traditional Group (TG), and each group included 6 girls and 6 boys. The training sessions were held 3 days a week (90 minutes each) and lasted 10 weeks in total. In the study, the visual reaction time (separately for hand and leg) was performed as a pre-test and a post-test using the Fitlight TrainerTM device. Paired Sample t test was used to examine the difference between pre-test and post-test of the same group. Independent Sample t test was used to measure the intergroup interaction between pre-tests and post-tests. To interpret the statistical significance level, p < 0.05 was accepted. As a conclusion; it was observed that both training methods shorten the visual reaction time, but there was no significant difference between the groups in pre-test and post-tests.
