Effect of Alternate High and Low Intensity Training on Physiological Variables among Inter-Collegiate Male Kabaddi Players

Abstract:

The purpose of present study was to find out the effect of Alternate High & Low Intensity Training on selected physiological variables among intercollegiate men Kabaddi players of Bangalore University. For this purpose, thirty men Kabaddi players in the age group of 18 – 25 years were selected as subjects. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups, in which, Group-I: Alternate High & Low Intensity Training Group (BSTG) (n=30) underwent specific training and Group–II: Control Group (CG) (n=30) acted as control which did not participate any training but allowed to take part in their regular Kabaddi training and playing programme. The training programme was carried out for this study was five days per week for twelve weeks. Prior to and after the training period the subjects were tested for resting heart rate, resting respiratory rate and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic.) The resting heart rate, resting respiratory rate and blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) were collected by using automatic blood pressure monitor. The statistical tool used for the present study was ‘t’ test. After applying the ‘t’ test, it was found that there was significant improvement in the selected physiological variables such as resting heart rate, resting respiratory rate and blood pressure for Alternate High & Low Intensity Training Group (BSTG) when compared with control group. Based on the results it was concluded that the Alternate High & Low Intensity Training was significantly improved in the selected physiological variables of Kabaddi players.
