Comparative effects of three types of training program on motor physical fitness variables of beginner middle distance runners of sagure town athletics club

Training programs are most important for the athletes due to their long term effect and sseveral methods have been developed to get reliable information about the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of middle and long distance runners. The purpose of this study was also to find out the comparative effects of aerobic, anaerobic and combined training program on performance development of selected motor physical fitness variable among Sagure Athletics club Athletes. To achieve this purpose of the study 30 male athletes were selected from sagure Athletics club as a subject and their age were 14–18 year. They were randomly assigned in to three groups, aerobic (group A), anaerobic (group B) and combined group (group C). Each group consisted of 10 subjects. All three groups participated in supervised aerobic, anaerobic and combined training program 3 days/week for 12 weeks. The parameters selected for the study were speed, balance, agility, power and endurance. Pre, during and post test were conducted for all 30 subjects on selected physical fitness variables and the score were recorded. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to find out the significance difference between the groups and LSD was used to find the post test mean difference among the groups at the level of 0.05%. The result obtained in this study indicate that there was significant improvement in selected motor physical fitness variable due to the effects of aerobic, anaerobic and combined training(p<0.05). This study also proved that, aerobic exercise was significantly better than anaerobic and combined in improving power, balance, agility and endurance, anaerobic exercise was better than aerobic and combined to develop speed.
