AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECTS OF HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING ON SPECIFIC PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

The aim of the research was to investigate how students who play volleyball's resting pulse rate and breath holding time are affected by high intensity interval training. Thirty volleyball players from Karnataka were chosen as subjects for the study. There were two equal groups formed out of them. Every group comprised the fifteen participants. For twelve weeks, Group I received high intensity interval training three days a week. Group II served as the control group and was not subjected to any additional training beyond their usual physical education curriculum. The variables that were chosen as criteria were the resting pulse rate and the breath holding time. Before and right after the training programme, all of the participants in the two groups were tested on a few chosen dependent variables, such as breath holding time and resting pulse rate, using bend-knee sit-ups and Cooper's 12-minute run/walk test, respectively. To determine whether there was a significant difference between the groups, the analysis of covariance was employed. The significance level for testing the 'F' ratio derived from the analysis of covariance was set at the.05 level of confidence, which was deemed suitable.There was a significant difference between high intensity interval training group and control group on breath holding time and resting pulse rate
