 Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of aqutic training on inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume among preadolescent boys. To achieve the purpose of this study, 30 preadolescent boys were randomly selected as subjects from Thoothukudi District, Tamilnadu, India. Their age were ranged from 12 to 14 years. The selected members were randomly separated into two groups such as group 'I' undertook yogic training (n=15) and group 'II' acted as control group (n-15). Group 'I' underwent aquatic training for six days in a week and one session per day and each session lasted for 45 minutes for nine weeks. Group 'II' was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The data on inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume were collected by administering with Wet Spiro meter. The pre and post-tests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the training programme. The pre and post-test scores were statistically surveyed by the dependent 't' test and Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) for each and every selected variable unconnectedly. It was concluded that the Aquatic training group had shown significantly improved in inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume. However, the control group had not shown any significant improvement on any of the selected variables such as inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume.

 Abstract

The intention of the present study was to find out the influence of high impact lower body jump training on vertical jump and horizontal jumping performance among basketball players. Twenty (20) male basketball players were ranged from aged 16 to 18 years were randomly selected from MDT Hindu College Higher Secondary School, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu State. They selected subjects have been randomly divided into two equal groups namely High impact lower body jump training Group (HIHILBJTG) (N=10) and Control Group (CG) (N=10). Six weeks high impact lower body jump training programme has been formulated to see the effectiveness of given training programme on vertical jump and horizontal jump of basketball players. The vertical jump and horizontal jump has been tested by 'sarjent vertical jump test and standing board jump test on before the training starts and after completion of six weeks high impact lower body jump training programme. Significant positive changes occurs in vertical jump and horizontal jump has been found by analysing and comparing the pre-test and post-test score through paired sample 't' test and ANCOVA among the basketball players of HILBJTG and CG. So this study was concluded that six weeks of high impact lower body jump training programme was shown effective in the improvement of vertical jump and horizontal jump among basketball players. However the control group had not shown any significant positive changes on vertical jump and horizontal jump while because they were not engaged to participated in to any specific training programme apart from their routine works.

 Abstract

Back pain is increasingly common among youth due to sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and lack of physical activity. This study explores the key causes of back pain among young individuals and evaluates the role of sports activities and exercise in its prevention and management. A descriptive research design was adopted, with a sample size of 250 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire, focusing on demographic details, back pain prevalence, awareness of preventive measures, and exercise habits. Findings indicate that prolonged sitting, incorrect posture, and lack of physical activity are primary contributors to back pain. However, regular engagement in strength training, stretching, aerobic exercises, and posture correction methods significantly reduces spinal discomfort. The study suggests integrating ergonomic awareness, movement breaks, and structured exercise programs into daily routines to prevent and manage back pain effectively.

This study investigates the effects of Mobility Training (HIIMT) on joint range of motion (ROM) and flexibility among young women. The research employed a pre-test/post-test experimental design involving 30 participants aged 20-23 years, divided equally into an experimental and control group. The experimental group underwent an 8-week MT intervention while the control group followed their usual physical routine. Flexibility and ROM were assessed using a goniometer, sit-and-reach test, and other validated tools. Results demonstrated significant improvements in joint mobility and flexibility in the MT group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that MT is an effective method for enhancing flexibility and joint function in young women.
