Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of combined resistance training and circuit training programme on resting pulse rate of badminton players. For this purpose, 40 badminton players were selected randomly between the age group of 14 and 17 years. The selected subjects were divided into experimental group (n = 20) and control group (n = 20). The experimental group underwent combined resistance training and circuit training programme for a period of 8 weeks for six days a week. The control group did not actively take part in any form of specialized fitness training. All the subjects were tested in selected variable namely resting pulse rate using bio-monitor. The data were analysed with analysis of co variance (ANCOVA). The result of the study revealed that the significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) was seen in resting pulse rate of badminton players of experimental group when compared to control group.
