Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate
the effect of physical exercise programme on muscular endurance for sedentary
men. To achieve the purpose of the study, 30 sedentary men were selected as
subjects randomly from Tirunelveli District. The selected subjects were divided
into two groups of 15each. Group I underwent physical exercise for six weeks
and Group II acted as control that takes part in any physical exercise, other
than regular activity. Physical exercise improves the functioning of the muscular,
respiratory, circulatory, digestive and hormonal system. Regular practice of
physical exercise helps to keep our body fit, controls cholesterol level,
reduces weight, normalizes blood pressure and improves heart performance. Hence
physical exercise was selected as independent variable and muscular endurance
were selected as dependent variable. Muscular endurance were tested by using
sit ups. During the training programme the subjects underwent their training
programmers for three alternative days per week up to 6 weeks. Every training
session lasted for 45 to 60 minutes. Approximately including warming up and
warming down. The data collected from the two groups were statistically
analyzed for significance the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was significances,
0.05 levels of significances was fixed. The result of the study shows that
there was a significant improvement takes place on muscular endurance due to
six weeks physical exercise training program. It is strongly recommended by the
investigator that physical exercise is done for preventive measures of disease
like, asthma, heart problems, cholesterol controlling etc, maintain good body
posture and increase muscle mass, bone density.
