Abstract Resistance training is a form of strength training in which each effort is performed against a specific opposing force generated by resistance. The objective of the present study is to ascertain the effect of resistance training on arm strength of state level adolescent male athletes. So experimental method was used is the study. The present study was conducted on athletes studying in school of Ambala city from 13 to 18 years. As per the requirement of the study the players have been divided into two groups. i.e., control group and experimental group 1, and, experimental group 2. These subjects will be the players who have participated at state level competitions in athletes and each group comprised of 66 subjects. All the instruments to be used in this investigation should be found to be quite precise and reliable. For resistance training the researcher is going to use the following instruments. i.e. bar-bell, rubber plates of different weights, fixed bar (for pull-ups), adjustable bench (for bench press) and mats (for sit-ups). For testing the statistical significance of the difference between the group means and Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) test was employed and further to access the significant improvement Level of Significant Difference (LSD) Test has been employed. To test the proposed hypothesis the level confidence chosen was at 0.05 level of significance. The results show that resistance training is better to improve arm strength. Top |
