Effects of Strength Training (Paperback)

It is a common observation that whenever athlete go for anaerobic type of training specifically strength training his/her anaerobic capacity is enhanced but along with this it is also observed that the aerobic capacity of the athlete also improves. After comparing the pair wise difference of adjusted means with critical difference, the Basic strength training had shown the most significant effect on improving the vital capacity and blood hemoglobin content of novice weight trainers as its adjusted means (3419.59) and (13.917) were greater than the adjusted means of Pyramid strength training (3365.92) and (13.791) respectively. On the other hand again Basic strength training had shown the significant effect on reducing the resting pulse rate and systolic blood pressure of novice weight trainers as its adjusted means (74.524) and (120.50) is smaller than the adjusted means of Pyramid strength training (75.387) and (120.88) respectively. However, no of the strength trainings succeeded to bring the significant effect on maximum inspiratory breath holding capacity, diastolic blood pressure, blood sugar random and blood urea nitrogen of novice weight trainers.
