Impact of Different Continuous Training Programme on Cardio Respiratory System of the Athletes

Introduction: Different continuous training help athlete to build up muscle power. Several researches on the different sport discipline proved that continuous training activates the stretch reflex mechanism in the muscle and improve the cardiorespiratory system. For the present study the intention was to find out the improvement of cardio respiratory due to systematic continuous training.Objective: To know the effect of different continuous training on cardio respiratory system for the athletes.Methods: Twenty state level athletes (Age:16±2.07 years, Height:161±7.6 cm, Weight:52±7.1 kg) from Barasat athletic club, North 24 parganas district, West Bengal, India, were purposively selected as subjects for the present study. The subjects (n=20) were randomly assigned to two equal groups of ten subjects of each groups- Group-I: Experimental Group and Group-II: Control Group. Pre- test was conducted for all the subjects on selected cardio respiratory parameters. The cardio respiratory parameters were measured by spirometer Test. The initial test score formed the pre-test score of the subjects. Experimental Group-I was exposed to continuous training (hurdles hops, squat jump, box jump, depth jump) and Control Group was not exposed to continuous training other than their regular daily activities. The duration of the experimental period was 12 weeks. After the experimental treatment, all the twenty subjects were tested on cardio respiratory parameters. This final test scores formed the post-test. The pre-test and post test scores were subjected to statistical analysis using t-test. The level of significance was judged at 0.05 level of significance.Result and Discussion: Table-1Mean and SD of cardo respiratory for Experimental and Control group between pre-test and post-test The above table, indicate a significant difference between pre-test and post-test cardio respiratory system for the experimental group who were involved in the continuous training programme, whereas the table indicates the insignificant difference for control group. Conclusion: After twelve weeks continuous training compares the experimental group with control group; the results shows that the continuous training is more effective. The continuous training of twelve weeks training duration leads to a significant effect on the cardio respiratory system of 14-19 years’ athletes.
