Effect of interval training on health related physical fitness components of engineering college men students

Abstract

The objective of the study was to find out the effects of interval training on health related physical fitness components of engineering college men students. For the purpose of the study 60 under graduate boy’s student were selected. This was studding in NDMVP’S K.B.G.T. College of engineering, Nasik and age ranged from 18-25 years. The subjects were purposively assigned into two groups: Group-A: Experiential (N1=30) and Group-B: Control (N2=30). All the subjects were informed about the objective and protocol of the study. The subjects from Group A were subjected to 8-week of interval training programme. The 8-week interval training brought about significant improvement in muscular endurance (t = 3.41), muscular strength (t = 5.53), cardiovascular endurance (t = 8.66) body composition (t = 3.32) and flexibility (t = 5.52) in Group (A) as compared with the control one. The 8-week interval training had significant effect on cardiovascular endurance, body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance and flexibility.
