On applying Anova, the f ratio value was found significant difference in bench press, front squat among all five groups. Mean dead lift (kg) of present study Hammer throwers was ranging from 203.3 to 124.6 kg and shown significant F-ratio (13.78*) at 1% level. Snatch and Clean was recorded maximum Group-V (96.5±13.3) & Clean (132.1±22.5) and minimum Snatch in Group-I (54±14.3) and Clean (82.3±20.4) respectively, these two tests of five hammer throwing groups have shown significant F-ratio among each other at 1% level. From this study, it was concluded that high performer groups have shown higher Maximum strength and lower with respect to low performance groups.
