EFFECT of FREE WEIGHT TRIANING on SELECTE HEALTH RELATED PHYSICAL FITNESS COMPONENTS:THE CASE MALE STUDENTS of SECONDARY SCHOOL,BADESA TOWN,WEST HARARGHE,OROMIA REGIONAL STATE, ETHIOPIA

Abstract

The study Background shown free weight Resistance training (FRT) is recommended as part Adults’ of physical exercise guidelines to improve muscle strength, muscle endurance and maintenance of bone density. The study employed comparative experimental research design and random sampling techniques. The Simple random sampling techniques were used to select subjects as well as to assign subjects for control CG and experimental groups EG, while purposive sampling were used to select the sample sex, age and the study place. The data were analyzed 36 male students the age range from 16-24 years sample was taken from a population of 224 male students by lottery sampling technique. All subjects had divided randomly into 18 equal groups (n=18)(CG) and (n=18)(EG) was implemented. EG who performed in 3 days, 12 week for 3-month free weight resistance training and CG did not perform the selected free weight resistance training unless both groups undergone normal physical education class program. Pretest of two groups of 18 subject’s muscular strength was measured by 90 degree push up test., muscular endurance was measured through sit up test and body composition was measured by using BMI were recorded. Consequently, after three months, post-test measurement on the same parameters was taken, the difference between the tests were analyzed statistically, data collected from the study subjects by using primary data sources were analyzed using SPSS version 23 software by paired t-test to compare within groups of pre and posttests, independent t-test to compare between groups pretest and groups posttests at P<0.05 to determine the significant difference between initial and final mean for participant. Based on the analyzed data the mean difference value was boosted in 90 degree push up test performance by 7.5. In sit up 9.11 mean differences was recorded After 12 week free weight resistances training in sit up test and in body composition 0.4 were observed throughout the study period. The result obtained in this study indicated that there was significant improvement in muscular strength and muscular endurance EG, but on body composition shown only improvement EG. Based on this finding, it can be concluded that free weight resistance training has positive effect on improvement of selected health resistance training physical fitness components of male students on experimental group
