The objective of the study was to identify the isolated and combined effect of fartlek and parcours training on selected physical and physiological variables among college basketball players' players. Forty male basketball players aged between 18 to 22 years were selected randomly. They were divided into four groups of three experimental and one control groups. Isolated fartlek, isolated parcours and combined training (fartlek and parcours training) are the three experimental groups. All the three experimental groups were given training for 24 weeks and control group were not allowed to participate in any training programme. The subjects were tested dependent variables such as agility and cardio vascular endurance; at the beginning (pre-test) in middle 12 week (mid-test) and after the training 24 week (post-test). The training schedule was for a period of 24 weeks. The data were collected two days before and after the training schedule and mid test after the 12 weeks of the training schedule. The data were analysed by applying ANCOVA and Scheffe's Post hoc test. The result showed that there were significant changes in dependent variables such as agility and cardio vascular endurance as result of isolated fartlek, isolated parcours and combined training (fartlek and parcours).
