EFFICACY OF DIFFERENT TRAINING CAPSULES ON SELECTED CARDIO RESPIRATORY PARAMETERS AND PERFORMANCE VARIABLES IN ADOLESCENT FEMALE BASKETBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of different training capsules on selected cardio respiratory parameters and specific game skills in adolescent female basketball players. The subjects were selected from school level adolescent girls basketball players. According to the school records, the average age of the subjects was ranging between thirteen to seventeen years. The subjects were assigned at random to one control group and two experimental group, each consisting of twenty (20) subjects. The experimental group was asked to take part in selected different physical activities for ten weeks. After consulting experts in the field and also going through the available literature on the subject, the following cardio respiratory parameters and game skills variables were selected for this study. Cardio respiratory variables: Resting Heart rate specific game skill variables are basketball dribbling . The analysis of data revealed that the training programme showed significant changes in some selected variables in Resting heart rate and basketball dribbling due to ten weeks of training programme for selected different physical activities. The type of training and methods used depends on factors such as the type of movement, skill requirements and specific demands of the activity in question. Coaches and athletes need to understand there are different types of training specifically designed to develop the fitness components, and each is closely linked to the energy systems and principles of training. All components of his body are intern dependent upon movement for their continued vigor, health and development.
