EFFECT OF VARIED RESISTANCE CIRCUIT WEIGHT TRAINING ON BODY MASS INDEX

Dr. A. Dominic Xavier James

Abstract :

 The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of varied resistance circuit weight training on body mass index. To achieve the purpose of the study, sixty male students studying physical education course at Sivanthi Adithanar college of Physical Education, Thiruchendur, Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 21 to 27 years, 154 to 174 centimetres and 50 to 71 kilograms respectively. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into four equal groups of fifteen each (n=15) at random. Group–I underwent high intensity circuit weight training, group–II underwent medium intensity circuit weight training, group–III underwent low intensity circuit weight training and group– IV acted as control. The data collected from the four groups prior to and post experimentation were statistically analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Since four groups were involved, whenever the obtained ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post test means was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. The experimental groups had significant decrease on body mass index when compå to the control group.
