Abstract:
This study was designed to find out the effect of selected resistance exercise on
muscular fitness of male gymnast in Yimam fitness center. To achieve the purpose of
the present study, 30 male samples were selected as study subjects. The subjects were
selected purposively and were assigned into two equal experimental (15) and control
(15) group through randomly. The experimental group participated in individualized
and supervise moderate intensity resistance training program 3 days/week for 12
weeks. The control group did not participated in training program but the tests were
conducted for both groups. The ages of samples were ranged from 16-17 years. The
collected data were analyzed by SPSS to determine the differences, if any among the
adjusted posttest means on selected dependent variables separately. In all the cases,
0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the level of significance. The results showed
that experimental group had better performance on selected physical fitness
components of Yimam fitness center of male subjects. The parameters selected for the
study were: muscular fitness (muscular strength, muscular endurance, and power) and
Data were analyzed by using SPSS. The result of the study found that, muscular
strength (9), muscular endurance (63.1), and power (16.8) showed significant
improvements of mean difference at (p<0.05). RM tests were analyzed by paired
sample T-test and it was found that, push up test, abdominal curl and power were
improved by mean differences of 51.1%, 81.2% and 66.8 respectively. This study
showed that resistance exercise program significantly improved the selected variables
of muscular fitness of male gymnasts.
