Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of resistance training with recreational activities on selected physical and physiological variables among sedentary female students with postural deformities. To achieve the purpose of the study, forty postural deformities students were selected randomly 22 to25 years of age from affiliated colleges at Bharathiar University, Coimbatore district. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups namely experimental and control groups of 20 subjects each. The training period was limited to twelve weeks and for six days per week. The resistance training with recreational activities was selected as independent variables and Speed, Strength, Breath Holding Capacity and Pulse Rate, were selected as dependent variables and it was measured by 50 mts dash,1 RM test, Nose clip, and Cardio Radial Pulse respectively. All the subjects were tested two days before and immediately after the experimental period on the selected dependent variables. The obtained data from the experimental group and control group before and after the experimental period were statistically analyzed with dependent‘t’-test to find out significant improvements. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level confidences for all the cases. Significant improvement was found on speed, strength, breath holding capacity and pulse rate of experimental group due to the effects of resistance training with recreational activities when compared to the control group.
