Description
The purpose of the study was designed to examine the effect of Circuit resistance training on shoulder strength and strength endurance of college men cricketers. For the purpose of the study, thirty men cricket players from the colleges in Virudhunagar district were selected as subjects. They were divided into two equal groups. each group consisted of the fifteen subjects. Group I underwent Circuit resistance training for three days per week for twelve weeks. Group II acted as control who did not undergo any special training programme apart from their regular physical education programme. The following variables namely shoulder strength and strength endurance were selected as criterion variables.
All the subjects of two groups were tested on selected dependent variables by using pull ups and bend knee situps respectively at prior to and immediately after the training programme. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the significant difference, if any among the groups. The .05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the ‘F’ ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between Circuit resistance training group and control group on shoulder strength and strength endurance. And also it was found that there was a significant improvement on shoulder strength and strength endurance due to twelve weeks of Circuit resistance training.
