Effect of six week fartlek training on vital capacity of shuttlers

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to effect of fartlek training for developing vital capacity among badminton players. 15 athletes between the age group of 18 to 24 years were selected for the study. The six weeks fartlak training program for shuttler group was conducted in order to study the effect of fartlak training on vital capacity of shuttlers. The Pre Test and Post Test were proficient through dry spirometer to estimation the effects of fartlak training on vital capacity of shuttlers. The subject for this study were 15 college level male and female badminton players of T.M.U College, Moradabad between the age group of 18 to 24 years were chosen for the study. The six weeks training was specified to whole Group which consists of Fartlek Training Sessions on 5 days per week. The Fartlek Training Sessions includes slow continuous road running on own speed, Continuous Running with self induced intensity on college training ground. Dry spirometer test for vital capacity is used for collection of Data. Independent sample T-Test was used to analyze the data. Pre test mean value was 3.64 and standard deviation was 0.69. post test data shows a slight difference as it shows mean(3.85) and standard deviation(.68) which shows a slight improvement in vital capacities of shuttlers. Study shows no significant difference between pre test post test vital capacity values of shuttlers as the sig (2-tailed) value is 0.42 which is greater than 0.05 level of significance.
