INFLUENCE OF AEROBIC, RESISTANCE AND CONCURRENT STRENGTH AND CONTINUOUS CYCLE ERGOMETERTRAINING PROGRAMME ON SELECTED BIOMOTOR ABILITIES Dr.G.SURESH KUMAR.,Ph.D., Physical Director, Periyar Centenary Polytechnic College, Thanjavur Dr. A.ANBANANDAN.,Ph.D., Assistant professor, Deputed Physical Director Government polytechnic college, Trichy ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to find out the influence of aerobic, concurrent strength and continuous cycle ergometer training programme on selected biomotor abilities namely Strength Endurance and Vo2 Max. For the present study, sixty male subjects were selected at random from the Department of arts and Sciences, periyar maniammi University, Thanjavur, TamilNadu, India. The age of the participants ranged between 18 and 25 years. The selected subjects were divided into three experimental groups and a control group with fifteen subjects (n=15) in each group. Experimental group I (ATG=15) underwent aerobic training, Group II (RTG=15) underwent resistance training, Group III (CTG=15) underwent concurrent strength and continuous cycle ergometer training and Group IV served as control group (CG=15). All subjects were informed about the nature of the study and their consent was obtained to co-operate till the end of the experiment and testing period. Pilot study groups and experimental groups (namely ATG, RTG and CSCTG) were trained- up in which three modes of training were given independently with separate subjects in each group. Group I,II and III were underwent their respective training programme for three days per week for twelve weeks who did not underwent any special training programme apart from their regular physical education curriculum. The following variables such as strength endurance and Vo 2 max were selected as criterion variables. The strength endurance was assessed by YMCA 1min bent knee sit-ups in In Numbers and Vo 2 max was assessed by using Bruce Protocol Stress Test In Cubic Centimeter. All the subjects of four groups were tested on selected criterion variables at prior to and immediately after the training programme as pre and post test selected. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference if any, among the groups on each selected criterion variables separately. In all the cases, .05 level of confidence was fixed to test the significance, which was ISSN NO: 1021-9056 http://infokara.com/ 522 INFOKARA RESEARCH Volume 8 Issue 9 2019
