Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the persuade of high intensity and medium intensity of weight training on selected speed parameters. To achieve this purpose of the study 45 untrained boys studying in the government her sec school, Chidamdaram were selected as subjects at random. Their age ranged between 14 to 16 years. The selected subjects were divided into three equal groups of fifteen each. The experimental group- I underwent high intensity weight training, group- II underwent medium intensity weight training, for three days per week for twelve weeks whereas the group-III act as control group. The following variable namely speed, stride length and stride frequency was selected as criterion variable. The collected data were analyzed statistically through analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to fund out the significant difference, if any among the groups. Whenever the obtained “F” ratio was found to be significant, the scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test to find out the paired mean difference, if any. The 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the level of significance which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference exists among high, medium, intensity weight training groups and control group on speed parameters. And also high intensity weight training group and medium intensity weight training group showed significant improvement on speed parameters when compared to control group.
