The Effect of Resistance Trainig and Circuit Training on Selected Physical and Physiological Variables Among College Male Basketball Players

The main objective of this study was to find out the Effect of Resistance Training and circuit Training on selected Physical and physiological variables among college male basketball Players. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty male basketball players were randomly selected as subjects from Sarvajanik Education Society, Surat. The age of the subjects were ranged between 18 to 25 years. The study was formulated as pre and posttest random group design, in which forty five subjects were divided into three equal groups. Experimental Group-I (n=10; RT Group) performed the Resistance training Group. The Experimental Group-II (n=10, CT group) performed Circuit Training program. Control group (n=10; CG) did not undergo any specific training programmed but there practiced the regular game. The following physical and physiological parameters are Explosive Strength and Resting Pulse rate. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the significant difference, if any among the groups. Si, three groups were compared, whenever they obtained ‘F’ ratio for adjusted posttest was found to be significant, the Scheffe's test to find out the paired mean differences, if any. The 0.05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the ‘F’ ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered as an appropriate. The result of the study indicates due to training on Explosive Strength and Resting Pulse rate has been improved significantly.
