The effects of complex training and conventional training in developing linear power among school children have been compared. For this purpose a group of 72 boys of 14 to 16 years of age was selected at random out of a universe of 200 children, who were medically fit. AAHPERD youth fitness test was conducted to assign the 72 boys into 3 different groups of 24 each namely complex training group, conventional training group and control group by using snake system based on their performance rankings. To verify that the groups were equated, mean and standard deviations were also calculated and assigned the groups for different treatments on random basis as A, B and C. With this setting, complex training was given to group A and conventional training was given to group B and group C control group did not participate in any of the training programmes, for a period of 12 weeks duration. This process was repeated and for a period of every two-week the data was collected along with pre-test, mid-test and post-test data from the experimental groups and control group on selected motor performance variables. A two way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied to determine the differences if any among the training methods and duration intervals for experimental and control groups. The Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was applied wherever applicable on the results of ANOVA to find the hierarchy among the methods of training and the duration intervals. As a result of the above analysis, the boys trained through complex training method gave more significant increase in the linear power as compared to conventional training method and 'No' training group that is control group. It was concluded that the linear power developed through complex training method was much faster than conventional training method within 12 weeks of training period. In fact, it was twice better than the other.
