The effect of aerobic and anaerobic interval training combined with yogic practices on selected physiological variables of high school male kabaddi players

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out “The Effect of Aerobic and Anaerobic Interval Training Combined with Yogic Practices on Selected Physiological variables (Breath Holding Time, Cardiovascular Endurance) of High School male Kabaddi players.” The study was formulated as a true random group design, consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The subjects (n=90) were randomly assigned to three equal groups of thirty men high school kabaddi players. The groups were assigned as Experimental Groups-I, II and control group respectively. Pre-tests were conducted for all the subjects on selected physical and physiological variables, breath holding time, cardiovascular. The experimental groups participated in their respective aerobic interval training combined with yogic practices and anaerobic interval training combined with yogic practices for a period of 12 weeks. The post-tests were conducted on the above said dependent variables after a period of 12 weeks training on all the three groups, namely, experimental group-I, experimental group-II and control group. The differences between the initial and final scores on selected dependent variables were considered as the effect of selected experimental treatments. To test the statistical significance, the obtained data were subjected to statistical treatment using ANCOVA. In all cases 0.05 level was fixed to test the hypothesis.
