Effect of Interval Training on selected hematological Variables among Badminton Players

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of interval training on selected hematological variables among badminton players. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on selected hematological variables due to the effect of interval training among badminton players. For the present study the 30 male badminton players from Trivendrum District, Kerala were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. For the present study pre test – post test random group design which consists of control group and experimental group was used. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent interval training and Group ‘B’ has not undergone any training. The data was collected before and after six weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying dependent ‘t test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The findings of the present study have strongly indicates that interval training of six weeks have significant effect on selected hematological variables i.e., LDL and HDL of badminton players.
