Dr. S. Manikandan

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of endurance training on selected endurance parameters among middle and long distance runners. To achieve this purpose thirty male middle and long distance runners were selected as subjects, their aged between 18 to 27 years, they were studying in the various department of annamalai university, Tamilnadu. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups of fifteen subjects each, namely endurance running group and control group. The experimental group trained for three alternative days in a week for twelve weeks. Endurance training group after a warm up for 5 minutes underwent specific endurance practices with variation of slow, medium, high, alternatively and finished each session with cool down exercises. Endurance parameters such as cardio respiratory endurance and muscular endurance were selected as criterion variables and they were tested by using cooper’s 12 minutes run/walk test and Bent knee sit ups respectively. ANCOVA was used to find out the significant different if any between the groups. The results of the study showed that there was a significant improvement on selected endurance parameters such as cardio respiratory endurance and muscular endurance due to twelve weeks of endurance training .
