Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to find out the influence of the isolated and combined circuit and fartlek trainings on the selected strength parameters among the college men students. To achieve the purpose of the study, 45 college men studying Bachelor of Law in the Central Law College, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India were selected. The age of the subjects ranged between 19 and 25 years. The selected subjects were divided into three experimental groups namely the circuit training group, fartlek training group and combined circuit and fartlek training group with fifteen subjects in (n=15) each. The three groups were called as Experimental Group I (circuit training), Experimental Group II (fartlek training) and Experimental Group III (combined training) in an equivalent manner. The duration of the training period will be restricted to twelve weeks and the number of sessions per week is confined to three. The initial test scores are called the Pre-test scores of the subjects. After the experimental treatment, all the forty five subjects were tested on their strength parameters. This final test scores are called the as Post-test scores of the subjects. The Pre-test and Post-test scores were subjected to the statistical analysis using the dependant ‘t’ test and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the significance among the mean differences, whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted test was found to be significant, Scheffe’s post hoc test was used. In all the cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed to test the hypotheses. The result reveals that there was a significant improvement in the experimental groups on the selected strength parameters when compared among the experimental groups. The circuit training group has showed better performance on the arm strength, leg strength and explosive strength than the other two groups.
