Effects of resistance training programme on anaerobic performance variables of college tennis players

Abstract

The study was formulated as a reverse group design consisting of pre test, post test and test following detaining the subjects (n=15) were randomly selected from affiliated colleges of Bharathiar university. Only one group was selected, pre-test was conducted for all the selected subjects on anaerobic variables. Then group participated in the resistance training for a period of 12 weeks. The post test was conducted on the dependent variables after the training period. On completion of post-test the training ceased for next 12 weeks. The subjects were not participated in any training programme other than their regular work. Test after detraining was conducted on the dependent variables after a period of 12 weeks from the date of post-test was taken. The collected data on anaerobic performance variables due to the effect of resistance training was statistically analyzed with ‘t’ test to find out the significant improvement between pre & post test. The level of significance was fixed at.05 level of confidence for all the cases. The result of the study indicates that there is significant difference among effects of resistance training programme on anaerobic performance variables of college tennis players.
