Abstract:
Balaji. V (2018) conducted a study to find out the combined effects of core strength and SAQ training on selected physiological and body composition variables among male short distance runners. For this purpose 40 male subjects were selected from Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya High School, Coimbatore, and Tamilnadu. The selected subjects were divided in to 2 equal groups of 20 each. Group – 1 underwent combined core strength and SAQ training (n = 20). Group – 2 was control group (n = 20). The data was collected before and after 14 weeks of training program. The collected data was analysed by applying dependent ‘t’ ratio. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level. The findings of the study strongly indicated that there was a significant difference between pre test and post test in combined core strength and SAQ training group on selected physiological (anaerobic capacity and breath holding time) and body composition (muscle mass percentage) variables. In control group there was no significant difference between pre test and post test on selected physiological and body composition variables.
