Introduction
Sport is a field where fitness and health both play a major role to bring achievements. The body of human being is so optimizing that it adapts and heals quickly even the given movement challenge by improving the efficiency with which the movement is performed. Its nature is very challenging, that if it decides something, they achieve it with full of dedication and that much spirit. Talking about physique and muscularity of an athlete, it’s so hard to maintain it. They have to be fit always. Sport can bring money, glory, status and good will. Sport can also bring tragedy, grief and even death. A sport has an unclear role in society. To train an athlete with perfect schedule is very challenging task, if we talks about training and management even schedule of players; it depends upon the level of competition and several factors affecting like age, experience, motor abilities and learning. High levels of physical fitness maintain through heavy daily exercise. As global warming affect the environment, same as health affects individual performance. We have to protect it from several global disease that walks around, it can be psychological, physiological, spiritual or else. Once the lifestyle may change the body becomes habitual of it. The term physical fitness is an essential component in the concept of wellness, which defines as the ability to perform daily task vigorously and alertly without any fatigue.. Our ability to carry out daily tasks and routine physical activities without undue fatigue is calledphysical fitness. While too much reliance on technology could make us less fit, we see that we can improve physical fitness through the performance of different exercises (Rebecca Gillaspy, 2022)
Physical activity is crucial for all age, promotes growth of children, maintain health status of adults, along with prevention of aging, prevention of disease along with longevity of life. Every stage of life needs physical fitness, so that individual can perform well. Training is a complex behavior, because it framed under ranges from single day to many years, even though it’s a journey of whole life. The time when sports were nothing more than an enjoyable recreation for Individual is irrevocably past. (Ajmer Singh, 2016)
Circuit training (CT) is a popular methodology in fitness and wellness programs, as well as in sports, because its modulation induces physiological
benefits, such as strength, power, and cardio-vascular–respiratory adaptations. Although the current literature explained conflicting results of the addition of exercises to general and specific training in all levels of players as well as students, we hypothesize that proper CT including exercises could report positive effects on balance, strength, and power. So, this study aims to analyze the effects of a specific CT protocol, performed during the season time, strength and speed in students. The increase in sprint performance is thought to be related to the development of muscle mass, as well as the maturation of the nervous system and improved muscular nerve coordination. A circuit includes a variable number of exercises that come in succession with a specific time related to the adaptation to the relevant exercises. Each exercise should be general and/or sport-related and can involve the whole body or just a specific body compartment. A circuit may consist of a number of different exercises with or without apparatus. The circuit training format utilizes a group of 6 to 10 exercises that are completed one exercise after another. The total number of circuits performed during a training session varies from two to six depending on the training level like beginner, intermediate, or advanced, period of training like preparation or competition and training objective. Exercises are simple enough to make each athlete feel a sense of achievement, training induces greater cardio-respiratory and metabolic responses in soccer players and thus may be a time-effective training strategy.
Objectives of the study
- To evaluate the pre and post effect of circuit training on strength and speed on students.
Methodology
The study was conducted on male M.P.Ed students, Punjabi University, Patiala only, pre-test post-test experimental group design was used for the study to check 21 days of adaptation along with given training sessions, the age of the students fall in between 21 to 25 years where neither nutritional information was collected nor history of injury.
Selection of variables
The following components of physical fitness were selected for the present study.
- Speed Strength
