Weight Training Protocol: Impact of Diverse and Organized Exercise on Certain Components of Motor Fitness and Functional Variables Amongst Males

The main objective of this exploration was to observe the influence of structured resistance training with varied intensities on certain motor fitness and functional variables in males. Sixty moderately trained sprinter males were selected as the subjects and equally divided into 3 groups (n = 20). Group I was designated as varied resistance group (VRT), group II was the structured resistance training group (SRT) and group III was the control group (CG). The selected physiological and motor components were resting pulse rate, breath holding time, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance. The training protocol of SRT and VRT was for a period of 12 weeks, twice per week and 50 minutes per session. ANCOVA and post hoc test were the statistical tools used for analysis of the data. SPSS version 16 was used and 0.05 was taken as the level of significance.
