Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of strength training on variable strength endurance among pre pubescent, pubescent and post pubescent males. To achieve this purpose fifteen (n = 15) male pre pubescent (age 9-12 years), fifteen (n = 15) male pubescent (age 13-18 years) were randomly selected from Sri Ramakrishna Higher Secondary School, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India and fifteen (n = 15) male post pubescent (age 19-25 years) from Faculty of Arts, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar were randomly selected as subjects for this study (N = 45). The selected subjects were assigned as Group I pre pubescent (PP), Group II pubescent (PU) and Group III post pubescent (POP) respectively. All the three groups underwent strength training. A written consent was obtained from the subjects. However, they were free to withdraw their consent in case they felt any discomfort during the period of their participation, but there were no dropouts in this study. The selected criterion variable namely strength endurance was assessed before and after the training period. The data collected from experimental group I, group II and group III prior to and after the completion of the training period were statistically analysed for significant difference if any, by applying dependent ‘t’ test. The paired mean gains of experimental groups were tested for significance by applying independent ‘t’ ratio. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level.
