Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of resistance training on selected physical
fitness components of Debrework millennium secondary school male students. To achieve the
purpose of the present study, 40 male students were selected as study subjects. The subjects
were selected purposively and were assigned into two equal experimental (20) and control
(20) group through randomly. The experimental group participated in individualized and
supervise moderate intensity resistance training program 3 days/week for 12 weeks. The
control group did not participated in training program but the tests were conducted for both
groups. The ages of subjects were ranged from 15-16 years. The collected data were analyzed
by SPSS to determine the difference, if any among the adjusted post test means on selected
dependent variables separately. In all the cases, 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the
level of significance. The results showed that experimental groups were better performance on
selected physical fitness components of Debrework millennium secondary school male
students. The parameters selected for the study were: physical fitness (muscular strength,
muscular endurance, and body composition) and Data were analyzed by using SPSS. The
result of the study found that, muscular strength (9), muscular endurance (10.55), showed
significant improvement of mean difference at (p<0.05). RM tests were analyzed by paired
sample T-test and it was found that, push up test and sit up improved by mean difference of
53.25% and 36.37% respectively. Body composition did not show substantial alteration in
statistically significant difference. However, an improvement of 7.1% was registered. There
was no substantial significant improvement observed in control group. This study proved that
resistance training program significantly improved selected variables.
