This book was released on 2008 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weight training is a practice which has become more and more important in the development of athletes. Being a physical education instructor as well as coaching multiple sports the researcher in this study tried to determine whether standard strength training or circuit training proved to be more beneficial for students while training during physical education classes. High school students in two classes took part in the study. One section participated in the standard strength training method and the other section participated in the circuit training method. Both pretests and posttests were administered on physical fitness tests and core max tests. A six-week training period was completed by both groups using workouts designed by the instructor. Students using individual data folders to track their daily workouts. This entire process showed students how important weight training is regardless of the style they practice. Both groups showed significant growth and it was determined both styles proved beneficial for students at this age.

Book The Effects of Selected Weight Training Programs on Dynamic Strength  and Its Relationship to the 40 yard Dash

Download or read book The Effects of Selected Weight Training Programs on Dynamic Strength and Its Relationship to the 40 yard Dash written by William C. Webb and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty-two junior and senior non-athletes of the South Milwaukee Senior High School, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin participated in the study of the effects of selected weight training programs and a relationship to their dynamic strength and speed in the forty yard dash. Group E1, E2, and E3 were designated as the experimental groups and C1 as the control group. The four groups were pre-tested for strength and speed, followed by a training program for the experimental group. The training session lasted the entire school year, meeting twice per week. At the conclusion of the session the groups were again tested for strength and speed. The difference between the pre-test means and the post- test means showed a marked increase in strength in the experimental groups, while the control group did not improve significantly. The pre and post test means also indicated that the experimental groups had improved their speed in the 40 yard dash. The t scores also indicated that the experimental groups increased significantly in strength, but not significantly in speed. Thirty-eight of the fifty-two subjects ran faster in the post-test. The control group did not make significant gains in strength or speed.

Book The Effects of Resistance Training on Muscular Fitness  Muscle Morphology  and Body Composition in Elite Female Athletes  a Systematic Review

Download or read book The Effects of Resistance Training on Muscular Fitness Muscle Morphology and Body Composition in Elite Female Athletes a Systematic Review written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Background Well programmed strength and conditioning training is an indispensable part of the long-term training process for athletes in individual and team sports to improve performance and prevent injuries. Yet, there is a limited number of studies available that examine the effects of resistance training (RT) on muscular fitness and physiological adaptations in elite female athletes. Objectives This systematic review aimed to summarize recent evidence on the long-term effects of RT or combinations of RT with other strength-dominated exercise types on muscular fitness, muscle morphology, and body composition in female elite athletes. Materials and Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in nine electronic databases (Academic Search Elite, CINAHL, ERIC, Open Access Theses and Dissertations, Open Dissertations, PsycINFO, PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and SPORTDiscus) from inception until March 2022. Key search terms from the MeSH database such as RT and strength training were included and combined using the operators "AND," "OR," and "NOT". The search syntax initially identified 181 records. After screening for titles, abstracts, and full texts, 33 studies remained that examined the long-term effects of RT or combinations of RT with other strength-dominated exercise types on muscular fitness, muscle morphology, and body composition in female elite athletes. Results Twenty-four studies used single-mode RT or plyometric training and nine studies investigated the effects of combined training programs such as resistance with plyometric or agility training, resistance and speed training, and resistance and power training. The training duration lasted at least 4 weeks, but most studies used ~ 12 weeks. Studies were generally classified as 'high-quality' with a mean PEDro score of 6.8 (median 7). Irrespective of the type or combination of RT with other strength-dominated exercise regimens (type of exercise, exercise duration, or intensity), 24 out of 33 studies reported increases in muscle power (e.g., maximal and mean power; effect size [ES]: 0.23 Cohen's d 1.83, small to large), strength (e.g., one-repetition-maximum [1RM]; ES: 0.15 d 6.80, small to very large), speed (e.g., sprint times; ES: 0.01 d

Download or read book Educating the Student Body written by Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Book Physiological Responses to an Aerobic Circuit Weight Training Program

Download or read book Physiological Responses to an Aerobic Circuit Weight Training Program written by Terri Lynn Steiner and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the Fast Fitness Circuit (FFC) at Eastern Washington University on a group of university women when comparing a "one circuit" and a "two circuit" workout over a period of nine weeks. A second purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the Fast Fitness Circuit when comparing pre- participation values to post-participation values of all subjects after a nine week period. From the review of current literature, it was hypothesized that after nine weeks of the FFC significant differences would be seen between the pre and post values in both groups, as well as significant differences between mean improvements of the two groups. The subjects were chosen on a volunteer basis. All were female, ranging in age from 18-33. Experimental group I consisted of 12 subjects, experimental group II consisted of 9 subjects. The first experimental group (n=12) went through the circuit once each workout 3-5 times a week, and the second experimental group (n=9) went through the circuit twice each workout 3-5 times a week for nine weeks. They began their workouts at 40% of their IRM, increased to 50% at three weeks, and increased to 60% for the remainder of the quarter. Total time on the circuit was approximately 18 to 19 minutes for the "one circuit" group and 36 to 38 minutes for the "two circuit" group. All subjects participated in pre and post fitness tests. These involved a walking treadmill test using the Parker protocol to determine cardiorespiratory endurance; muscular endurance and muscular strength determined by using a bench press protocol, and body composition, which was measured by hydrostatic weighing. After collecting the two sets of data for both experimental groups, at-test was used to determine the differences between the pre and post values for the group as a whole. Four one-way factorial ANOVA's were used to determine if there were significant differences between the group mean improvements. There were significant (p
