Effect of Interval Running and Swimming Activities on Selected Biochemical Variables
Full text linkThe purpose of the study was to find out the effect of interval running and swimming activities on selected biochemical variables. Thirty male teachers aged between 35 and 40 years who knows swimming were selected for the study. They were divided into three equal groups, each group consisted of ten subjects in which Group I underwent interval running activity and group II underwent interval swimming activity, three days per week for twelve weeks and group III acted as control, who did not participate in any training. The subjects were tested on selected criterion variables such as total cholesterol, triglycerides and high -density lipoprotein, at prior to and immediately after the training period. The selected criterion variables, such as, total cholesterol, triglycerides and high density lipoproteins were assessed by using Boehringer Mannheim kit method. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant differences if any, between the experimental groups and control group on selected criterion variables separately. Since, three groups were involved in the present study, the Scheffé S was used as post-hoc test. The results of the study showed that the selected criterion variables such as total cholesterol and triglycerides were decreased significantly and high-density lipoprotein was increased significantly for both the training groups when compared with the control group. Moreover, the result of the study also shown that there was no significant difference was occurred between the training groups on selected criterion variables such as, total cholesterol, triglycerides and high density lipoproteins
Connecting Theory to Practice – Effective Ways of Teaching Motor Learning Course for Undergraduate Physical Education Students
Full text linkMotor learning is an important subject and is a required course for undergraduate students who major in health and physical education according to NASPE standards two. The objective of motor learning courses at the undergraduate level is to prepare our students to be competent to teach motor skills in the future. However, teaching the motor learning course effectively at this level is truly challenging due to the abstractness of the motor learning theories which are largely based on laboratory experiments. Many times students? motivation of learning could be compromised due to a potential disconnect between theory and practice of motor learning course in general. Thus, the purpose of this paper is two-fold: (a) to illustrate the obstacles of teaching motor learning courses, and (b) to introduce the effective ways of connecting theory to practice for teaching motor learning at the undergraduate level
Yoga for Vital Capacity
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to ascertain the effect of yogic exercises and pranayam on the vital capacity adolescent school going boys. In total 60 numbers of school students (boys only) were taken as subjects and were divided equally (30 each) into two groups namely Experimental and Control groups. Pre tests on Vital Capacity was conducted prior to Yogic exercises and pranayam treatment to the experimental group and post test was made after a 12 week treatment and comparisons were made between and within the groups using descriptive statistics and Factorial ANOVA. It was concluded that Yoga Training Group (Experimental Group) improves Vital Capacity of adolescent student
Relationship of Attitude with Socio-Economic Status
Full text linkEvery sportsperson has its own unique attitude that he learnt from family, schooldays, experiences and shows by his behavior when he reacts to certain events in his surroundings. As India is a developing country with more unemployment, tough completion and fewer facilities, it is obligatory to control and develop a right kind of attitude among players so that they think positively and explore the opportunities optimistically to shun depressions and unsocial habits. Thus it is necessary to study the attitude and certain variables in the society, the relationship of these variables in context with socio-economic status of sportsman. Attitude as suggested by the experts has six sub variables: Social Change, Social Distance, Liberalism, Nationalism, Social Revolutionism and Untouchability, out of which this paper concentrates on Social Change, Social Distance and Liberalism, their relationship with the socio-economic status of judokas
Effects of Intensive and Extensive Interval Training on Selected Motorability Components, Physiological Variables among College Women Students
Full text linkIn the modern scientific age, sportsmen are being trained using highly sophisticated means for better achievement in their concerned sport. They are being exposed to the exercise and training methods which have proved beneficial for achieving high standards. The training programmes for sports are to be designed that they may favorably affect the physical and physiological variables associated with high performance capacity in that sport. The study was formulated as a true random group design. The subjects (n=30) were randomly assigned to three equal group of ten women each. The college women students of Alagappa College of Physical Education Karaikudi. They were divided into three equal groups namely Control Group (Group I) Intensive interval training (Group II) Extensive interval training (Group III). The subjects were tested in order to find out speed, Explosive power, Pulse rate, Breath holding time. The experimental group participated in intensive and extensive interval training for the period of six weeks. Dependent variables are Motor Ability Components (Speed, Explosive Power), Physiological Variables (Pulse rate, Breath holding time). Independent variables are Intensive interval training and Extensive Interval training. The pre and post test design employing ANCOVA technique was adopted. Intensive and Extensive interval training equally improved for the following factors of motor ability components namely speed, explosive power. The six weeks of Intensive and extensive interval training might be significant improvement in speed, and explosive power, among the college women students. Intensive and extensive interval training equally improve for the following factors of physiological variables. The intensive and extensive interval training might be significant improvement of physiological variable resting pulse rate breath holding time among college women student
Comparison Between Selected Coordinative Abilities and Motor Abilities of Female Athletes of Selected International Schools in Pune
Full text linkoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1The article presents a study regarding the coordinative and motor ability comparison of female athletes from international schools including Victorious Kids, Mercedez Benz, and Symbiosis International School in Pune, India. Methods used include motor ability testing, standard deviation, and data analysis. Result shows that female athletes from Mercedez Benz school possessed the best explosive power in the 12 minute run/walk
