Impact of Alternate Low and High Intensity Resistance Training on Cardio–Vascular Efficiency among Adolescents

Bhim Singh

Abstract :

The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the impact of alternate low and high intensity resistance training on cardiovascular efficiency among adolescents. To achieve this forty five physically active and interested students (N = 30) were selected as subjects and their age group ranged between 15 and 18 years. The subjects were categorized into two groups randomly. Group I alternate intensity resistance training group (AIRT), group II control group (CG) and both group had fifteen (N = 15) subjects. Both experimental groups underwent their respective experimental treatment for eight weeks, 3 days a week and a session on each day. Control group was not exposed to any specific training programme apart from their curriculum. Cardiovascular efficiency was selected as dependent variable for this study. The collected data was analysed using t–test, to test significant difference between mean. The result of the study revealed that alternate low and high intensity resistance training (AIRT) produced significant improvement on cardiovascular efficiency (p £ 0.05) as compared to control group (CG).
