THE EFFECT OF 12 WEEKS SELECTED RESISTANCETRAININGSON MUSCULAR ENDURANCE AND STRENGTH PERFORMANCE:THE CASE OF GRADE 11 AND 12TH MALE STUDENTS AT CHANCHO PREPARATORY SCHOOL, GOLOLCHA WOREDA, ARSI ZONE, OROMIA REGIONAL STATE, ETHIOPIA.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 12 weeks selected resistance trainings on muscular endurance and strength performance. Forty (40) young male students of beginner trainees from chancho preparatory school were selected as subjects purposively. Their age ranges from 17-19 years. The control group has (20) subjects. The experimental group has twenty (20) subjects were placed in one group and participated in 40 minutes exercises. The selected subjects practiced three days per week for 12 weeks in low, moderate and high intensity exercise training respectively. A paired sample T-test was used to analyze and compare the collected data. After 12 weeks of training the experimental or training group achieved an average of 11.05( 49% )mean difference respectively on improving muscular strength and endurance and the group achieved in each treatment with in push up 11.05 MD,(49%), in sit up 17.86 MD,( 82.8%), in pull up 10.7, (91.8%), in SLJ 0.86MD, and (25%) achieved respectively. This was the high improvement of the muscular endurance and strength. The control group achieved an average of (7.70%) MD of muscular endurance and an average of (29.95%) this was the minimum improvement of the muscular endurance. The control group gained 9.95MD,(44.8%)in sit up,5.45MD,(29.95%)in push up, 0.7 MD, (7.29%) in pull up and 0.49 MD,(16%) in SLJ respectively. According to the result of these selected resistances exercise training, the improvement of muscular endurance and strength performance in training group have remarkable improvement respectively. Therefore, this finding indicates that the training session given for the trainees should be more of on muscular endurance and strength trainings for the better performance of the male trainees.
