Effect of Aerobic and Anaerobic Training on Inspiratory Reserve Volume of Untrained College Men

The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of aerobic and anaerobic training on inspiratory reserve volume. For this reason, forty five untrained men students from St, Micheal college of engineering and technology, Kalayarkovil, Tamilnadu were chosen at random as subjects. The age of the selected subjects ranged from 18 to 24 years. The chosen groups were separated into two experimental groups and a control group. In the experimental group, the group 1 (n = 15, AT) perform the aerobic training, the group 2 (n = 15, AN-T) perform the anaerobic training and group 3 (n = 15 CG) acted as the control group. In the study, two different training approaches were adopted as independent variables, i.e., aerobic training (AT) and anaerobic training (AN-T). The inspiratory reserve volume was chosen as a criterion variable. It was measured by spirometer and the obtained values recorded in milliliters. The selected two treatment group were received the specified aerobic and anaerobic training protocol in a week 3 alternative days, for the period of twelve weeks. Before the training interventions the inspiratory reserve volume measured to the experimental and control groups, it was considered as the pre test and immediately after the training intervention, again the data was collected, it was considered as post test. The pre and post test random group design was used. The obtained results statistically analysed through the analysis of co variance. The Scheffe's post hoc test was used to find out pairwise comparisons between groups with respect to inspiratory reserve volume. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of confidence was fixed. The results revealed that the selected both training intervention produced significantly different improvements on inspiratory reserve volume of college untrained men.
