Different scientific sports training on speed and power performance of University Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the Athletic performance variables of sprinting ability, speed endurance and maximum power to influence of Sprint training, and Resistance training of college men. 90 male students were selected from Central University of Tamil Nadu, Thiruvarur. Their age ranged between 17and 25 years. The subjects were divided into three equal groups. The group I was considered as sprint training group (STG=30), group II was considered as resistance training group (RTG=30) and group III was considered as control group (CG=30). Students were assessed before and after 12 weeks training period on sprint ability, speed endurance and maximum power. Sprint ability was measured by 40 meters test, speed endurance was measured by 150 meter run test and maximum power measured by IRM half squat jump test. The data statistically analyzed with ‘t ratio, ANCOVA and Scheffee’s post hoc test to find out significant improvement of pre test and post test of each variables and difference existed between groups in the changes in each variables from the baseline to the post test at 0.05 level of confidence. The results reveal that the 12 weeks sprint training, resistance training was significantly improved the sprint ability, speed endurance and maximum power, Sprint training group is better improvement on sprinting ability and speed endurance than resistance training group and maximum power was high improvement due to the effect of 12 weeks resistance training compare than sprit training group of University students.
