EFFECT OF INTERMITTENT TRAINING WITH AND WITHOUT MASSAGE MANIPULATION ON RESPIRATORY RATE AMONG COLLEGE MEN PLAYERS

Dr. G. Radhakrishnan

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was designed to find out the effect of intermittent training with and without massage manipulation on Respiratory Rate among college men players. For the purpose of the study, forty five (N=45) men players who participated in intercollegiate tournaments during the year 2016–2017 were selected as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 to 21 years. The subjects were divided at random into three groups of fifteen each (n=15).Group–I underwent Intermittent Training with Massage Manipulation, Group II underwent Intermittent Training without Massage Manipulation, and Group III acted as Control. The duration of the training period was restricted to twelve weeks and the number of sessions per week was confined to three. Respiratory Rate only selected as the dependent variable for this study and it was assessed by Manual method. The data were collected prior to and immediately after the training period of twelve weeks. The data obtained from the experimental groups before and after the experimental period were statistically analyzed with dependent ‘t’–test and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post test means was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s Post hoc test was applied to determine the paired mean differences. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level for all the cases. The Experimental groups namely, Intermittent training with massage group and Intermittent training without massage group had significantly improved in Respiratory Rate. Further the results of the study were favour to the Intermittent training with massage manipulation group.
