Abstract

The present study evaluates the impact of core strength training with and without yogic practices on elasticity among the college female athletes. To attain the aim of the study forty five (N=45) female students were selected randomly as subjects from Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aged between 17 to 25 years at random. The athletes were separated into groups of three with 15 students each named as experimental group I with core strength training , experimental group II with core strength training with yogic practices and group-III with controlled training. Prior to and after the twelve weeks of experimentation, the subjects were tested. The core strength training and the yogic practices were selected as training protocol. The core strength training given based on stress given in each exercise and sets and the load administered between 5 and 10 repetitions in a set with the time lapse of 15 to 10 seconds for a set. The training protocol followed by proper warming up and cooling down regime. The yogic practice was given on morning time with proper prayer and warming up practice. The load of the yogic practice increased by the number of yogic practices by 2 to 8 repetitions with 2 to 5 sets. The obtained data from the experimental and control group initial and final readings underwent statistical analysis along with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with the application of Scheffe’s post hoc test to examine the groups’ difference and testing condition. The level of confidence had a fixation of 0.05 confidence level. The group that acted as the experimental group had improved significantly on flexibility in comparison with control group.

Abstract

Context: The objective of the present study was to find out the effect of selected aerobic capacity and anaerobic power of sedentary school girls of west Bengal. Subject: twenty five(n=25) sedentary school students were randomly selected as subjects for this study from Atulia Neta Adharsha Vidyapath, North 24 paraganas. The age ranged from 16-18 years. The study was confined in a single experimental group and no control group was considered. In the present study of aerobic capacity and anaerobic power were two variables. Aerobic capacity were measured in terms of maximum oxygen consumption during excersice i.e. VO2 max. Aerobic capacity & anaerobic power were measured respectively by Queens College Step Test and Margaria-kalamenanaerobic power test. A structured yogic training was intervened for six week. Mean and Standard deviation statistical procedure was carried out. The mean of different variables were compared by using t-test statistical significance was tested at 0.05 levels. The results highlighted that there were the significant difference in aerobic capacity between pre and post treatment condition. On the other hand a significant difference was found in anaerobic power between the pre and post treatment condition.
