Effect of Varied Frequency and Duration of Aerobic Training on Selected Physiological Variables of Handball Players

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study is to find out the effect of varied frequency and duration of aerobic training on selected physiological variables of handball players. To achieve the purpose of the present study, sixty students from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Kalpetta, Wayanad, Kerala, India were selected. The selected students are divided in to three groups. Group I participated in aerobic training for 30 minutes, group II participated in aerobic training for 45 minutes and control group did not undergo any training. The experimental group practised for a period twelve weeks. The anaerobic power was measured by margaria kalamen anaerobic power test and the unit is in watts, vital capacity was measured by spirometer and the unit is in litres and peak expiratory flow rate was measured by peak flow meter and the unit is in litres/minute. The three groups were statistically analysed by using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level. The result of the study reveals that there was a significant improvement in the experimental groups on selected variables when compared to the control group after the completion of six weeks of training programme. The group who practiced aerobic training for 45 minutes has showed better performance on physiological variables than the other groups.
