EFFECT OF 8 WEEKS RESISTANCE CIRCUIT TRAINING ON SELECTED FITNESS VARIABLE: IN REFERENCE TO UNDER 17 MALE VOLLEYBALL PROJECT PLAYERS,WEST GONDAR ZONE, AMHARA REGION

Abstract

Introduction: The effect of resistance circuit training was important to improve physical fitness components. The great advantage of circuit training is that depending on the exercises chosen, it can be used to develop strength, power, muscular endurance, agility, aerobic endurance and anaerobic endurance (Howell and Morford, 1998).Objective: The main objective of this study was to examine the effect of resistance circuit training on power, muscular strength, speed, and agility on volleyball project trainees. Method: To employ the study, by random sampling technique 22 experimental groups and 22 control were selected to perform resistance circuit training e for eight weeks, three days per a week. And out of the total number of 44 male volleyball player before training project volleyball trainees has done pre-test (standing high Jump , 30m speed slalom agility test) was recorded. After two months, post-test measurement on the same parameters was taken. The difference between the tests were analysed statistically, with paired sample t-test and independent T-test at(P<0.05) Result: Consequently it was observed that selected resistance circuit training implemented on project brought about significant improvements from paired sample t-test pre-test and post test results of experimental group standing high jump test was increased by Pre and Post mean difference of(M=3.27 ±3.9) P value=0.001 . Speed in which duration of 30m result Pre and Post mean difference of(M= 0.2 SD=0.26)seconds P value=0.002 and Agility in which slalom agility test (M=.318 SD=.39 ), P=0.001 . According to the result the investigator we summarize that adding effect of resistance circuit training program helps to improve youth volleyball athlete’s power, speed, strength and agility performance
