EFFICACY OF MODERATE INTENSITY AEROBIC TRAINING ON SELECTED PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether moderate intensity aerobic training has an effect on physiological parameters of women volleyball players. To achieve these purpose 30 women volleyball players, aged 18 to 22 years took part in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to either moderate intensity aerobic training (n=15) or control (n=15) group. The training regimen lasted for eight weeks. The selected dependent variables such as resting pulse rate, mean arterial pressure and Vo2max were assessed using standard tests and procedures, before and after the training regimen. Analysis of covariance was used to determine the significant difference existing between pretest and posttest on selected dependent variables. The analysis of data revealed that due to the impact of eight weeks of moderate intensity aerobic training the selected physiological parameters of women volleyball players have significantly changed.
