EFFECT OF SHORT HILL TRAINING ON SELECTED CARDIO RESPIRATORY PARAMETERS AMONG COLLEGE MEN PLAYERS

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of short hill training on selected cardio respiratory parameters among college men players. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on selected cardio respiratory parameters due to the effect of short hill training among college men players. For the present study 40 men inter-collegiate players from Madurai Kamaraj University affiliated colleges, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 24 years. For the present study pre test – post test random group design which consists of control group and experimental group was used. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of twenty men players each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent short hill training and Group ‘B’ has not undergone any training. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying dependent ‘t test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The short hill training had positive impact on breath holding time and vital capacity among college men players
