Effect of Complex Training and Combined Complex Training with Yogic Practices on Physical Variables among Women Sports Participants

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of complex training and combined complex training with yogic practices on physical variables among women sports participants. To achieve the purpose of this study, forty five women sports participants of Idhaya Engineering College for Women, Chinnasalem, Tamil Nadu were randomly selected from population of 250 sports participants. Their age ranged from 18 to 24 years. The study was formulated as a random group design, consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The subject selected (N=45) were randomly assigned into three equal groups. This experimental group-I (N=15) undergo complex training, Experimental group-II (N=15) undergo complex training with yoga and control group (N=15) was not practiced any specific training method. The experimental groups practiced a period of twelve weeks training program in an alternative days. The selected physical variables were speed, agility and explosive strength. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to test the comparative effects as the groups used in the study were not equated in relation to the factors to be examined. Hence the difference between means of the three groups in the pre-test had to be taken into account during the analysis of the post-test differences between the means. This was achieved by the application of the analysis of covariance, where the final means were adjusted for differences in the initial means, and the adjusted means were tested for significance. Whenever the adjusted post-test means were found significant, the scheffe’s post-hoc test was administer to find out the paired means difference. To test the obtained results on variables, level of significance 0.05 was chosen and considered as sufficient for the study.
