IMPACT OF BRISK WALKING PROGRAMME ON UPPER BODY MUSCULAR STRENGTH OF SEDENTARY COLLEGE STUDENTS
Dr.K.M.Valsaraj
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of brisk walking programme on upper body muscular strength of sedentary college students. The sample was consisted of thirty (N 30) sedentary college students and their age ranged between 18-25 years of age .the subjects were briefed in details about the study. The criterion measures for the study was upper body muscular strength and it was measured by pull-ups and scores recorded correctly executed pullups in numbers. The total research period was of 12 weeks out of which six (6 weeks) of brisk walking programme was employed. There was insignificant difference was found in case first observation and second observation (MD=0.17, p=1.00), whereas significant difference was found in second and third observation (MD=0.70, p=0.00), once again a insignificant difference was found in third observation and fourth observation (MD=0.43, p=0.07) and once again significant difference was found in fourth and fifth observation (MD=1.07, p=0.00). We can, therefore, conclude that a brisk walking training program (6 week) elicits a statistically significant increase in Upper Body Muscular Strength (Pull-ups).
