EFFECT OF CONTINUOUS TRAINING AND INTERVAL TRAINING ON VO2 MAX PARAMETER AMONG DELHI UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

G. Krishnan, Dr. M. Sundar

Abstract :

The present study was to investigate the effect of Effect of continuous training and interval training on Vo2 max parameter among Delhi university students. To achieve this purpose of the study forty five (N=45) university students were selected from Delhi university, New Delhi, India, during the year 2016–17. The subject’s age ranges from 18 to 25 years. The selected subject were divided into three equal groups consists of fifteen subject each namely two experimental groups and control group from university students. The experimental group I underwent continuous training group (CTG) and experimental group II underwent interval training group (ITG) programme for twelve weeks. The control group was not taking part in any exercise during the course of the study. The dependent variable vital capacity parameter selected for the study, it was measured by Astrand–Rhyming Nomogram Test unit of ml/kg/min.Pre–test was taken before the exercise period and post– test was measured immediately after the twelve weeks exercise period. The data collected from the three groups were statistically analyzed for significance, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used and the F ratio was found out. The Scheffe’s test is applied as post–hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. The level of significance will be fixed at .05 level of confidence for all the cases. These results suggest that both continuous training and interval training improve vital capacity level. The both training provides an alternative means of exercising for overweight, injured or ill individuals.
