Isolated and Combined Effect of Continuous Run Alternate Pace Run on Selected Motor Fitness Physiological Haematological Variables among Male Athletes

The study aims to determine the isolated and combined effect of continuous run, alternate pace run and combined training on the selected motor fitness variable (Muscular Endurance), physiological variable (Breath Holding Time), and hematological variable (Red blood corpuscles) among the male athletes of Alagappa University affiliated colleges. The research involved a random subject selection of forty athletes with age ranging from 17–25 years and had four equally divided groups namely experimental groups A, B, C and control group D with 10 athletes each. The groups endured the training activities for twelve weeks with a schedule of thrice a week whereas the control group remained with no activities. The data procured in prior and after the training programme was examined with the application of Analysis of Covariance and the fixation of level of significance at 0.05. Scheffe's test was applied at the significance of ‘F’ ratio in order to evaluate the differences that occur significantly between the paired means. The study revealed that the selected variables of the combined group with the two endurance trainings outperformed the other groups.
