Abstract
The purpose of the study was to find out the Impact of Strength
training on selected physiological variables among Hockey players. To achieve
the purpose of the study thirty male Hockey players have been randomly selected
from various colleges in Bharathidasan University of Tamil Nadu, India. The age
ranged between 18 and 25 years. The subjects had past experience of at least
three years in Hockey and only who those represented their respective college
teams were taken as subjects. A series of physiological measurement was carried
out on each participant. These included vital capacity, forced vital capacity,
slow vital capacity, maximum voluntary ventilation assessed by spirometer. The
subjects were randomly assigned into two groups of fifteen each, such as
experimental and control groups. The Experimental group participated in the
Strength training for 3 alternative days per week for eight weeks. Duration of
training session in all days with one session was one hour approximately which
including warming up and limbering down. The control group maintained their
daily routine activities and no special training was given. The subjects of the
two groups were tested on selected variables prior and immediately after the
training period. The collected data were statistically analyzed through
analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the significance difference, if any
between the groups. In all case the criterion for statistical significant would
set as 0.05 level of confidence. The results of the study showed that there was
significant differences exist between Strength group and control group. And
also Strength training group showed significant improvement on vital capacity,
forced vital capacity, slow vital capacity, maximum voluntary ventilation,
compared to control group.
