Outcomes of Crossfit and Resistance Training on Selected Physiological Variables among Basketball Players

Abstract :

The purpose of the study is to find out the outcomes of CrossFit and Resistance training on selected physiological variables among basketball players. The CrossFit and Resistance training will be selected as independent variables. Vital capacity and breath holding time (physiological variables) variables will be selected as dependent variables. To facilitate the study, 45 male basketball players will be randomly selected from various colleges affiliated to the University of Madras. The age group of subjects ranged from 17 to 25 years. The selected subjects are divided into three groups’ namely experimental group I, experimental group II, and control group. The group I will undergo CrossFit training, group II will undergo Resistance training, and control group will not undergo any training. The training period is limited for 12 weeks per week except Sunday; per day per session is maximum 60 minutes. The selected dependent variable is measured by standardized tests. The physiological variables are Vital capacity-Wet spirometer, Breath holding time-Nose clip. The data will be collected from the experimental groups I, II and control group before and after the training period. Analysis of Co-variances (ANCOVA) will be used to find out the significant difference, if any among the groups. Scheffe’s post hoc test will be used to find out the mean difference on selected dependent variable among the groups.
