Description :
A training programme
is the essence of the sports performance. The main purpose of the study
was to find out the effect of 8 weeks swimming training on school going children. Required data for this
study were collected on the school going male swimmers who used to come for re
gular practice to Shree
Hanuman Vyayam Prasarak Mandal’s Swimming Pool, Amravati. Forty School going male swimmers were
selected as subjects by using Purposive Sampling Technique. To measure the abdominal strength of the
selected subjects, abdominal streng
th of the subjects was measured by employing the Bent Knee Sit Ups
test was used and the score was recorded in numbers and to measure the speed ability of the subject 50
yard dash test was administered and score was recorded in second. The training was giv
en after pre test
for 8weeks, six days in a week i.e. Monday to Saturday from 5.30 to 7.30 p.m. To determine the
significance difference between the means of the control and experimental groups, independent t
-
test was
employed for pre
-
test and post
-
test se
parately for each variable. To test the hypothesis the level of
significance was at 0.05. There is no significant difference between Control group mean of Pre and Post
test in Strength. But Experimental group shows significant difference in mean Pre and Po
st test in
Strength Similarly Post test Control and Experimental groups shows significant difference with
calculated’t’ value of 2.135. There is no significant difference between Control group mean and
Experimental group mean of Pre and Post test in Speed.
Similarly, there is no significant difference
between Control and Experimental group Post
-
test means in Speed as the calculated t
-
value 0.377 is less
than the tabulated t
-
value.
