ABSTRACT

Introduction: Maintaining a quality of life and also doing regular resistance training are the hallmarks of a fit person. Thepurpose of this study is to examine the effect of resistance training (RT) on the selected physical and physiological variablesamong the university males. Method: This is an experimental research with a pre and post-test design which includes aresistance training and a control group. Sixty male participants were selected for this study who were assigned into twogroups; group-A (N=30) experimental group, and group –B (N=30), control group. The participants’ age was in the rangebetween 18 to 22 years. The duration of the RT program was 45 minutes, twice per week. All the subjects were tested beforeand after the 12-week program. For statistical analysis, ANCOVA and SPSS 16 were used. Descriptive statistics was appliedto observe the differences among the participants from the pre to post-test. Results and Discussion: According to the results,the effect of RT on the selected physical variables was significant i.e. body composition, explosive power, muscular strength,muscular endurance, and flexibility. There was also a significant difference with regard to the physiological variables i.e.resting pulse rate and breadth holding time. Lastly, no significant difference was observed for blood pressure (systolic) and(diastolic) showed changes from the pre to post-test. Conclusion: This is evident that RT is beneficial for the improvement ofphysical as well as physiological variables. The higher number of training sessions in a week will be more effective inimproving overall fitness level among the students.
