Dr. S. Sethu

Abstract :

 The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of physical exercise programme on muscular endurance and speed for sedentary men. For the purpose of the study, 30 sedentary men were selected as subjects randomly from St.Xavier’s College, Palayamkottai. The age of the subjects ranged from 18-24 years. The selected subjects were divided into two groups of 15each. Group I underwent physical exercise for six weeks and Group II acted as control that takes part in any physical exercise, other than regular activity. The physical fitness variables such as muscular endurance and speed were selected as dependent variables for this study. The physical exercise programme was selected as independent variables for this study. Muscular endurance was tested by sit up test and speed was tested by using 10yard shuttle run. The study was based on the groups pre test and post test design. The subject chosen for the study were divided into experimental and control group of fifteen each at random. The data collected from the two groups were statistically analyzed for significance the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was significances, 0.05 levels of significances was fixed. It was concluded that, there was a significant improvement takes place on muscular endurance and speed. And also concluded that, there was a significant difference exists between experimental and control groups in the improvement on muscular endurance and speed.
