Circuit Training is specifically designed to make the entire body improvement especially strength, speed, mobility, speed endurance etc.The objective of the study is to determine the effect of circuit training exercises  for development of speed among High Jumpers of Telangana State.. It is hypothesized there will be effect of Circuit  training for development of Speed among High Jumpers. The purpose of the present study to find out the effect of Circuit Training for the development of Speed in High Jump. The sample for the present study consists of 20  Male High Jumpers  of Telangana State  out of which 10 are experimental group and 10  are controlled group. Circuit Training exercises  were given to experimental group on alternate days i.e. three sessions per week and controlled group were given the general training in High Jump for eight weeks. To assess the Speed  Pre Test and Post Test were conducted in  50 Meters Run by the qualified technical officials of athletics to the experimental group and controlled group .This study shows that due to the Circuit training exercises there is a improvement of High Jump experimental group in  speed and High Jump controlled group is decreased in performance ability and speed due to the general training. It is concluded that due to circuit training there will be improvement in  speed among High Jumpers.
