Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to assess the combined effect of anaerobic and interval training on inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume among volleyball players. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty college volleyball players from Aditanar Educational Institutions, Tiruchendur, Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, India were selected as subjects. They have participated in the intercollegiate tournaments for their respective, affiliated university of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University intercollegiate volleyball tournaments and Tamil Nadu Physical Education and Sports University intercollegiate volleyball tournaments. Their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. The thirty subjects were divided into two groups of fifteen (15) subjects each. Group I underwent combined training (anaerobic and interval training), group II acted as control they did not participating any activities. Experimental group have training programmes for 12 weeks in alternative days. For that purpose, the inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume selected as dependent variables for this study. Inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume measured by spirometry test. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was applied as statistical tool for the present study. Significant at 0.05 level of significance. The data were examined by applying SPSS measurable package in the computer. The results of the study shows that combined training group have improved their inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume compared with control group.
