Effect of Selected Gymnastics Trampoline Skills Training Programme on Lipid Profiles of Adolescents

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of selected gymnastics trampoline skills training programme
on lipid profiles of adolescents. It was hypothesized that there would have been a significant effect of six weeks specific selected gymnastics trampoline skills training on selected lipid profiles of adolescents. For the present study the subjects were 30 male college students from Periyar University College of arts and science, Mettur, Salem, Tamilnadu were selected as subjects at random and their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. For the present study pre test – post test randomized 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 specific selected gymnastics trampoline skills training and Group ‘B’ underwent no training. The data was collected before and after six weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) technique to find out the effect of selected gymnastics trampoline skills training programme on lipid profiles of adolescences. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The findings of the present study have strongly indicates that specific selected gymnastics trampoline skills training of six weeks have significant effect on selected lipid profiles i.e., HDL and LDL of college men. Hence the hypothesis earlier set that specific selected gymnastics trampoline skills training would have been significant effect on selected lipid profiles in light of the same the hypothesis was accepted.
