Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Tube exercises on Anaerobic Capacity and Leg Strength of Higher Secondary School Girls. The subjects of the study were sixty female Higher Secondary School students from Alappuzha, Kerala, India. The average age of the subjects was 17 years, ranging from 16 to 18 years. The subjects were equally assigned to one experimental group and one control group by using random sampling method. Pre- test was conducted for the experimental and control groups for the selected strength variables and data is recorded. The experimental group participated in the training program five days per week for a period of 10 weeks. The control group was not allowed to do any form of exercises during this period. The data were taken at the conclusion of the period of 10 weeks. Standard tests were conducted to measure selected variables under the study. Anaerobic Capacity was measured in Kgms-1 by using Sergeant vertical jump test as an indirect method with the application of the equation, p= 2.2 x Wt. x √D. The weight of the subject recorded in Kg with standard weighing machine. The number of inches between the jump and reach in Sargent vertical jump test measured to the nearest half inch. The distance between the jump and reach was further multiplied by body weight and then divided by 12 to get the measurement in foot/pounds.

Leg Strengths were measured by the Back & Leg Dynamometer as the maximum force exerted in kgs. To find out the significant differences between Pre-test and Post-test scores of experimental and control groups data were analyzed by applying ‘t’ test. The level of significance was .05. The mean obtained by the two groups found different from each other. The findings of the study indicated that experimental group was significantly better than the control group.
