Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the changes of inspiratory reserve volume due to different intensities of circuit training among male football players. To achieve the purpose of the study, Sixty male football players from Hindustan Institute of Technology & Science, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects. Their age ranged from 18 years to 23 years. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into four equal groups of 15 subjects each. Group-I underwent low intensity circuit training, Group-II underwent medium intensity circuit training, Group-III underwent high intensity circuit training and   group-IV acted as control. The selected dependent variable inspiratory reserve volume was assessed by expirograph before as well as after training. The assessed data of the four group’s was analyzed through paired ‘t’ test. Additionally, magnitude (%) of changes was also calculated. To abolish the early mean disparity, the four group’s data (pre&post) were calculated through ANCOVA statistics. When the ‘F’ (adjusted) score in ANCOVA was high, the post hoc (Scheffe’s) test was followed. The confidence level 0.05 was set. Due to the effect of different intensities of circuit training the inspiratory reserve volume of male football players were notably progressed however, high intensity circuit training was much superior to low and medium intensity circuit training in developing inspiratory reserve volume of male football players.
