Abstract

The purpose of the study was designed to examine the effect of Circuit resistance training on leg strength and strength endurance of college men students.  For the purpose of the study, thirty men students from SRKR Engineering College, Bhimavaram, West Gadavari District, Andhra Pradesh were selected as subjects.  They were divided into two equal groups.  each group consisted of the fifteen subjects.  Group I underwent Circuit resistance training for three days per week for twelve weeks.  Group II acted as control who did not undergo any special training programme apart from their regular physical education programme. The following variables namely leg strength and strength endurance were selected as criterion variables.  All the subjects of two groups were tested on selected dependent variables by using leg lift with dynamometer and bend knee sit ups respectively at prior to and immediately after the training programme. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the significant difference, if any among the groups. The .05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the ‘F’ ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between Circuit resistance training group and control group on leg strength and strength endurance. And also it was found that there was a significant improvement on leg strength and strength endurance due to twelve weeks of Circuit resistance training.
