Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the influence of circuit training and interval training on Vital capacity and VO₂ Max in women badminton players. To achieve this purpose, Forty five women badminton players were randomly selected subject studying from Annamalai University, India and their age ranges between 20 to 24 years. The selected subjects were divided into two experimental groups and a control group with fifteen subjects in each group. Experimental group I (CTG=15) underwent circuit training, Group II (ITG=15) underwent interval training and Group III served as control group (CG=15). During the training period the two experimental groups’ underwent their respective training program for 12 weeks (4 days/ week) and the training programs were given about from 45to 60 minutes per day. Physiological analyses were done on Vital capacity and VO₂ max to find out the significant effect of after training on women cricket players. The data collected from the three groups before and after the experimental training period were statistically examined to find out the significant improvement using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The significant the level of confidence was fixed at 0.05. Hence, it was concluded that circuit training and interval training have significant positive increase on Vital capacity and VO₂ max level.
