Effects of complex and maxex training on stride frequency

The aim of the present study was to find out the effects of complex and maxex training on stride frequency of university male athletes. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty university male athletes from affiliated colleges of University of Madras, Chennai, TamilNadu were selected as subject at random and their age group range between 18 to 22 years. The study was formulated as pre and posttest random group design, in which thirty athletes were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=10, CT) underwent complex trailing, the experimental group-2 (n=10, MT) underwent maxex training and group 3 served as control group (n=10, CG). In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variables and the ability of stride frequency was selected as dependent variable and it was tested by video observations during 50 meters run, the performance was recorded in numbers. The selected two treatment group's was performed three alternative days in a week for the period of twelve weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The performance of stride frequency was tested before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of analysis of co-variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups. The Scheffe's post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed in this study. The result clearly proved that there was significant improvement on stride frequency in experimental groups than the control group.
