The present study was designed to find out the effects of isolated and combined assisted and resisted sprint training programmes on Strength Endurance among college women athletes.  For this purpose sixty (N=60) college female athletes who were studying various colleges affiliated to Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, Tamilnadu India were selected randomly as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged between 18-21 years. The subjects were assigned at random into four groups of fifteen each (n=15) namely, Assisted Sprint Training Group (ASTG), Resisted Sprint Training Group (RSTG), Combined Assisted and Resisted Sprint Training Group (ARSTG), and Control Group (CG).  Group-I underwent Assisted Sprint Training, Group-II underwent Resisted Sprint Training, Group-III underwent Combined Assisted and Resisted Sprint Training and Group-IV acted as Control.  The duration of the training period for all the three experimental groups was restricted to twelve weeks and the number of sessions per week was confined to three in a week. For combined Assisted and Resisted Sprint Training the training period was restricted to alternative weeks for twelve weeks. Strength Endurance was selected as dependent variable and it was assessed by Bent Knee Sit-ups test. All the subjects were tested prior to and immediately after the training for the entire selected variable. The data obtained from the experimental groups before and after the experimental period were statistically analyzed with 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 applied to determine the paired mean differences. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level for all the cases. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference was found among all the experimental groups namely Assisted Sprint Training Group (ASTG), Resisted Sprint Training Group (RSTG), Combined Assisted and Resisted Sprint Training Group (ARSTG) on Strength Endurance.  Further the results of the study showed that Combined Assisted and Resisted Sprint Training Group (ARSTG) was found to be better than the Assisted Sprint Training Group (ASTG), and Resisted Sprint Training Group (RSTG), in Strength Endurance.
