Influence of Mallakhamb exercises on selected motor ability components and physiological variables among Physical Education College men

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the influence of Mallakhamb exercises on selected Motor ability components and physiological variables among physical education college men students. For this study, sixty male students were selected from Alagappa University College of Physical Education, Karaikudi at random aged 18-23 years. They were divided in to two groups namely Control group and experimental group. The control group was not given any specific training, the experimental group was exposed to Mallakhamb exercises for twelve weeks for a period of 3 days per week for 45 minutes. The pretest and post test were conducted for the selected motor ability components (Agility, Flexibility) and physiological variables (Pulse rate, Breath Holding time). The collected data were analysed by using ‘t ‘ratio as recommended by Clarke and 0.05 level was fixed as level of significance. The result of the study revealed that Mallakhamb exercises positively influenced the selected motor ability components and physiological variables among college students.
