The Effect Of Callisthenic And Dumbbell Exercise On Muscular Strength Endurance And Flexibility Of Rural School Boys

The purpose of the present research was to determine and compare the effects of two tamilnadu physical education sports programme of calisthenics and Dumbbell exercise on muscular strength and endurance and flexibility  of 14-17 Years  male rural school boys. The research was quasi-experimental and the population consisted of all the 14-17 Years  male rural school boys. Forty five rural school boys invited to a local team’s camp in  erode district rural area  were selected as sample. The subjects were randomly divided into three groups—two experimental groups and a control group Experimental I group: 15.50 ± 1.50  years,45 ± 5.40  kg, 160.50 ±5.30 cm; Experimental II  group: 15.50 ± 1.50  years,45 ± 5.40  kg, 160.50 ±5.30 cm ; and the control group: 15.50 ± 1.50  years,45 ± 5.40  kg, 160.50 ±5.30 cm. The independent variables of the research were two types of  trainings were callisthenic and dumbbell exercise group and the dependent variables were  muscular strength endurance was measured by standing board jump , flexibility was measured by sit and reach test,. First, the subjects took the pretest, and then the two experimental groups performed the selected exercises while the control group did not practiced  any specific training.  Finally, all the subjects took the posttest. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential ( ANOVA) statistics. The results showed that except for calisthenics and dumbbell both  training types led to change in  muscular strength and endurance ,flexibility.  The results of Thus, considering the results of the research, tumbles exercise  is probably effective for improving  muscular strength endurance and flexibility  in 14-17  Years of Rural  school boys.
