P. Sooran, Dr. M. Sundar

Abstract :

 The purpose of the study was to find out the Effect of circuit training, resistance training and combined training on selected physical variable among school boys. To achieve the purpose of this study, 60 boys were selected randomly from R.S.Govt.Hr.Sec.School, Paramakudi, Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu, during the year 2015–16, their age ranged from 15–17 years. They were divided into four equal groups and each group consists of 15 subjects. Group A underwent circuit training; Group B underwent resistance training and Group C underwent combined training (circuit and resistance training) for six days per week for 12 weeks on alternative days and Group D acted as a control who did not involve any special training apart from the regular curricular activities. Speed and explosive power was taken as criterion variables in this study. The collected data were analyzed statistically by using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the differences, Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to determine the differences, and the Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test to find out paired mean differences. In all cases 0.05 level of confidence was selected to test the hypotheses.
