Effect of sub-maximal and maximal barbell weight training on selected physical parameters and squat performance of power lifters

Abstract

The reason of this study was to investigate the effect of sub- maximal and maximal barbell weight training on physical parameters and squat performance of power lifters. The revise was conducted on sixty boys who were studying in St Thomas College, Kozhencherry, Pathanamthitta (Dist) Kerala, India. Their age ranged from 17 to 21 years. They were arbitrarily divided into three equal groups. Group I concentrated sub-maximal barbell weight training Group II undergo maximal weight training and Group III acted as control group. The duration of training programme restricted to twelve weeks. The data collected from the experimental groups were statistically examined using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA).
