The purpose of the study was to explore the effect of Weight training on Resting Pulse Rate among Middle Distance and Long-Distance runners of Osmania University. Total 90 male athletes of Middle Distance and Long-Distance runners were randomly selected as subjects from Degree & PG colleges which are affiliated to Osmania University, Hyderabad, Telangana and their age ranged between 18-22 years. The study was formulated as pre and post-test random group design, in which N=45 male athletes of Middle-Distance runners and Long-Distance runners divided into three equal groups as Group 1 (n = 15) Middle Distance Runners Group, Group 2 (n = 15) Long Distance Runners Group, Group 3 (n = 15) Control group. The experimental groups 1 & 2 underwent 12 weeks of Weight training i.e., 3 days/week and Control groups did not go for any specific training. Pre and Posttest was administrated prior and after training period on Resting Pulse Rate for the three groups respectively. The statistical tests Mean, Standard Deviation, ‘t’ test, ANCOVA and Scheffe’s Post Hoc test was carried out with the help of the software package of social science (SPSS 20.0 version). With the effect of 12 weeks of Weight training, it was found that there was a significant difference on Resting Pulse Rate between Experimental groups and Control group.

EFFECT OF WEIGHT TRAINING ON RESTING PULSE RATE AMONG MIDDLE DISTANCE AND LONG DISTANCE RUNNERS OF OSMANIA UNIVERSITY

Introduction

Ideal strength and conditioning sessions invite an athlete to build supporting muscles, rectify muscle imbalances, increase mobility, improve posture, stabilize joints, learn new movement patterns, improve coordination and peripheral skills, and do so much more to attain highest performance.

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of the study was to examine the result of Weight Training on Resting Pulse Rate among middle distance and long-distance runners of Osmania University.

Significance of the Study

The study is significant in the following ways:

  1. To find out whether there was any significant difference with the effect of Weight Training on Resting Pulse Rate in experimental groups.

Delimitations & Limitations

Delimitations

  1. The study was confined to male middle distance and long-distance runners of Osmania University who were between 18-22 years age.
  2. The training period was delimited to 12 weeks (3 days/week).

Limitations

  1. Elements which are not controlled and not identified of the subjects living style, food habits and environmental conditions during the Research and testing period was considered as Limitations of the study.
  2. Specific motivational techniques and tactics were not employed during the Research and testing period to accomplish subjects peak performance.

Hypothesis

It was hypothesized that there would be a significant difference in Resting Pulse Rate after 12 weeks of Weight Training among experimental groups.

Methodology

Selection of Subjects

Total 90 male athletes of Middle Distance and Long-Distance runners were randomly selected as subjects from Degree and PG colleges which are affiliated to Osmania University, Hyderabad, Telangana and their age ranged between 18-21 years. The study was formulated as pre and post-test random group design, in which N=45 male athletes of Middle-Distance runners and Long-Distance runners divided into three equal groups as Group 1 (n = 15) Middle Distance Runners Group, Group 2 (n = 15) Long Distance Runners Group, Group 3 (n = 15) Control group.

Experimental Design

The experimental groups 1 & 2 underwent 12 weeks of Weight training i.e., 3 days/week and Control groups did not go for any specific training. Pre and Posttest was administrated prior and after training period on Resting Pulse Rate for the three groups respectively. The statistical tests Mean, Standard Deviation, ‘t’ test, ANCOVA and Scheffe’s Post Hoc test was carried out with the help of the software package of social science (SPSS 20.0 version).

Table-1 indicates that the Resting Pulse Rate pretest and posttest mean values of Middle-Distance Running Group (MDRG), Long Distance Running Group (LDRG) and Control Group (CG) were 69.20, 67.06 and 68.53, 66.47 and 68.93, 69.13 respectively. It was found that there is no significant difference in Control group as the obtained ‘t’ value of Resting Pulse Rate were 0.82 which was less than the required ‘t’ value 1.761 at significance level 0.05 with df (14). It was found that there was a significant difference between the pre and posttest means of MDRG and LDRG, as the obtained ‘t’ values of Resting Pulse Rate were 6.35 and 7.75 respectively which are greater than the required ‘t’ value 1.761 at 0.05 level of significance with df (14). Hence the effect of Weight training was visible in MDRG and LDRG.

 In distinction to over the table, despite MDRG, LDRG and CG had respective Pre-test mean values of 69.20, 68.53 and 68.93. Thus, the acquired F-ratio 0.55 was lesser than requisite F-ratio 3.22 for df (2,42) at 0.05 sig. level. Therefore, Pre-test mean values within the three groups was witnessed insignificant change.

 Despite MDRG, LDRG and CG had respective Post-test mean values of 67.06, 66.47 and 69.13. Thus, the acquired F-ratio 9.17 was greater than requisite F-ratio 3.22 for df (2,42) at 0.05 sig. level. Therefore, Post-test mean values within the three groups was witnessed significant change.

MDRG, LDRG and CG had respective Adjusted Post-test mean values of 66.81, 66.76 and 69.09. Thus, the acquired F-ratio 23.19 was greater than requisite F-ratio 3.23 for df (2,41) at 0.05 sig. level. Therefore, Adjusted Post-test mean values within the three groups was witnessed significant change.

 As it witnessed a significant change, to identify the significance between paired adjusted mean values of MDRG, LDRG and CG on Resting Pulse Rate, Scheffe’s Post Hoc Test was exercised. The mean difference within the three groups and the data were illustrated in seconds.

  1. Middle Distance and Long-Distance Groups difference value of mean 0.05 was lesser than the CI value 0.98. Eventually, it was evidenced that the difference within the two groups adjusted post-test mean was insignificant.
  2. Middle Distance and Control Groups difference value of mean 2.28 was higher than the CI value 0.98. Eventually, it was evidenced that the difference within the two groups adjusted post-test mean was significant.
  3. Long Distance and Control Groups difference value of mean 2.33 was higher than the CI value 0.98. Eventually, it was evidenced that the difference within the two groups adjusted post-test mean was significant.

It was accomplished that with the impact of Weight Training, performance of Middle Distance and Long-Distance Groups were enhanced compared to Control Group. Within the experimental groups, Long-Distance Group performance was slight better than the Middle-Distance Group.

Conclusion

In this study, 12 weeks of Weight training exercises pointedly boosted the power, strengthened leg muscles, which allows them to grip the huge force throughout a long-distance run, reduce the strain on the joints and curtail the probabilities of injuries and extremely training had showed a significant impact on Resting Pulse Rate in Middle Distance Runners and Long-Distance Runners Groups who are between 18-21 years age. It was observed that, 12 weeks training helps in ideal reduction of the pulse rate in experimental groups during rest period of an athlete which is an essential ingredient helps middle and long-distance runners in enhancing their performance.
