Abstract:
The study was designed to investigate the effect of unstable core strength training with qigong exercise on selected physiological variables of corporate male employees. To achieve the purpose of the study, sixty male corporate male employees were randomly selected from Chennai and their age was ranged between 35 and 40 years. They were divided into two equal groups of thirty each. No attempt made to equate the groups. Experimental group I (n = 30) were undergo unstable core strength training with qigong exercise, for a period of 16 weeks, and group II (n = 30) were act as control group (CG), the subjects in control group were not be given any short of training programme other than their regular activity. The physiological variables such as VO₂ max and Breath holding time were selected as dependent variables. Pre and post-test random group design was used for this study. The dependent ‘t’ test was applied to determine the difference between the means of two groups. To find out whether there was any significant difference between the experimental and control groups. To test the level of significant of difference between the means 0.05level of confidence was fixed. The result of the study shows that, there was a significant change takes place on VO₂ max and Breath holding time of corporate male employees due to the effect of unstable core strength training. And also concluded that, there was a significant difference exists between experimental and control groups in VO₂ max and Breath holding time. The control group did not significant changes the selected criterion variables.
