EFFECTS OF HYDRAULIC RESISTANCE CIRCUIT TRAINING ON INDIAN SEDENTARY FEMALE POPULATION
Abstract
The present study is devoted to the effect of six weeks of hydraulic resistance circuit training selected physical and physiological parameters of women, 30 healthy, sedentary females not taking medications that effect their physical and physiological condition, between the ages of 25-45 years has been taken as the Experimental group. The subjects were tested twice for physical and physiological variables (weight, anthropometric measurements – chest, waist, hip and thigh, BMI, FM and physical condition). Pre-test before the start of the training program and post test was conducted after the six weeks of hydraulic resistance circuit training. The training program was implemented five days in a week, from Monday to Friday for 30 minutes of duration, in the morning sessions. The six week of 30 minute hydraulic resistance circuit training has shown a remarkable improvement in selected physical and physiological variables of women. During the 6 weeks of hydraulic resistance training program all the 30 subjects has improved their weight, anthropometric measurements – chest, waist, hip and thigh, BMI, FM and physical condition. But the improvement level for each individual differs from each other.
