Effects of a moderate intensity circuit training on selected motor fitness variables of college level men badminton players

Abstract

The aim of present study was the effects of a moderate intensity circuit training on selected motor fitness variables of college level men badminton players were studied. The subjects for this study were confined from SRM Group of Institutions, Tamil Nadu, India. Their ages ranged from 20 to 25 years. 20 state level players were selected for experiment group and 20 state level players were selected for control group. The study was conducted only for men players and the motor fitness variables of agility, leg strength, and flexibility were selected for this study. The mean (M) and the standard deviation (SD) of the collected data were computed. To find out the significance of difference between the two means, the ‘t’ ratio was determined. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level of confidence. Result of the study indicated that the moderate intensity circuit training programme have shown changes on the subjects. The pre-test and post-test comparisons in respect of all the selected motor fitness variables were positive and significant at 0.05 level of significance.
