Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of High altitude training on selected physical, physiological variables among college level middle distance runners. To achieve this purpose of the study, thirty athletes were selected from various colleges in Idukki district, Kerala, India. The subject age range between 18 to 23. The selected subject were divided into two groups of fifteen each, Group I underwent high altitude training programme and Group II acted as control group they did not participate in any special training apart from their regular curriculum oriented activities. The selected physical variables such as endurance,explosive power were measured by Cooper 12 minutes run/walk test and standing oad jump. In physiological variables respiratory rate were measured by using expirograph and vital capacity was measured by using wet spirometer. The data were collected at prior and immediately after the training programme for each criterion variables. Analysis of covariance (ANACOVA) was applied to analyse the data. In all the case, 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the significance. The result of the study shows selected variable were significantly improved due to the high altitude training programme.
