IMPACT OF SUBMAXIMAL AND MAXIMAL AEROBIC TRAINING ON SELECTED BODY COMPOSITION AND PHYSIOLOGICAL VARIABLES AMONG UNDER 14 YEARS CRICKETER

The purpose of the study was find out the impact of submaximal and maximal aerobic training on selected body composition and physiological variables among under 14 years cricketer. Forty five under 14 years cricketer were selected randomly as subjects from YMCA, Cricket Academy at Chennai city, Tamilnadu, India. The subjects were selected random group design were divided in to three groups of fifteen each named as selected submaximal aerobic training group, maximal aerobic training group and control group. The subjects were tested prior to and after the twelve weeks of experimentation. The training program is scheduled at 6.30 am to 7.30 am on alternate days. Percent body fat and ventilator capacity variables measured by skinfold caliber and spirometer. The obtained data from the experimental and control group initial and final ridings were statistically analyzed with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with scheffes post hoc test applied to examine the difference between groups and testing condition. The level of confidence was fixed 0.05 level of confidence. Result the experimental group had achieved significant improvement on percent body fat and ventilator capacity when compared to control group. It was also observed that the 12 weeks of submaximal and maximal aerobic training program have significantly improved the body composition and physiological variables are percent body fat and ventilator capacity among under 14 years cricketer. The experimental group had achieved significant improvement on body composition and physiological variables are percent body fat and ventilator capacity when compared to control group.
