Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of circuit training on selected physical variables among college women students. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on selected physical variables due to the effect of circuit training among college women students. For the present study the 30 college women students from Sri Sarada College of Physical Education for Women, Salem, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 21 years. For the present study pre test – post test random group design which consists of control group and experimental group was used. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each and named as Group ‘I’ and Group ‘II’. Group ‘I’ underwent circuit training and Group ‘II’ has not undergone any training. Leg strength was assessed by dynamometer and muscular strength endurance was assessed by sit ups. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying ANCOVA test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The results of the study showed that the experimental group that practiced circuit training exercises increased the selected physical variables than the control group.
