EFFECTIVNESS OF RESISTANCE AND AEROBIC TRAINING WITH PROTEIN INTAKE ON MAXIMUM OXYGEN CONSUMPTION OF VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS LIVING AT ALTITUDE

. Adil Rashid Malik and Dr. N. Premkumar


Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of resistance and aerobic trainings in combination with protein intake on Vo2max of volleyball players living at altitude. This study was confirmed to forty eight (N=48) male inter-collegiate level volleyball players studying in various Colleges, in Kashmir region, India as subjects and their age ranged from 18 to 24 years. The volleyball players who represented inter collegiate level competitions and residing at moderate altitude that is 5000-8000 ft (1524-2438 m) above sea level was only considered. The number of groups for the study was delimited to four and designed as resistance training with protein intake (group-I), aerobic training with protein intake (group-II) and combined resistance and aerobic training with protein intake (group-III) groups and control group (group-IV). The number of subjects in each group was confined to twelve. The data collected from the four groups prior to and post experimentation on Vo2max were statistically analyzed, by paired t test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Then Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test. In all the cases the level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level for significance. Intake of protein during resistance training  lead to 5.06% of progress, intake of protein during aerobic training  lead to 11.67% of progress whereas intake of protein during combined training (resistance & aerobic) lead to 7.60% of progress in Vo2max capacity  of the volleyball players living at altitude.

Key words: Resistance and aerobic training, Protein intake, Vo2max, Altitude, Volleyball players
