Effect of circuit training on selected variables of lung capacities of school going children’s

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to effect of circuit training for developing vital capacity and peak flow rate among school going students. 30 students between the age group of 15 to 17 years were selected for the study. The six weeks circuit training program for shuttler group was conducted in order to study the effect of circuit training on vital capacity and pea flow rate of subjects. The Pre Test and Post Test were proficient through dry spirometer and pea flow meter to estimation the effects of circuit training on vital capacity and peak flow rate respectively of school students. A specialized circuit training program was applied to the subjects during the PE classes which was on alternate days under the supervision of a researcher. Training program includes 5 stations i.e (Burphy Jump, on the spot jog, surya namaskar, sit ups and squat thrusts). Participants needs to perform two 60 sec on each station and 4 set on each station with a break of 2 mins in between set and 15 sec break in between change of station. results shows no significant difference between pre test post test vital capacity value of subjects as the sig (2-tailed) value is (0.62) which is greater than 0.05 level of significance, results also depicts t-value as (0.01) for variable Peak flow rate which is less than 0.05 level of significance.
