Abstract:
The purpose of the study was designed to find out the effect of assisted and resisted training on Stride Frequency performance of athletes. For the purpose of the study sixty(N=60) athletes studying various affiliated college to Rani Channamma University, Belagavi, Karnataka state, India, were randomly selected as subjects. The subjects were assigned at random into four groups of fifteen each (n=15). Group-I underwent Assisted Sprint Training (n=15), Group-II underwent Resisted Sprint Training (n=15), Group-III underwent combined Assisted and Resisted Sprint Training (n=15) and Group-IV acted as Control. Stride Frequency only selected and it was assessed through 50 meters run test. The Experimental groups underwent their respective training for 12 weeks duration. And the number of session was conformed into three days per week. All the subjects were tested prior to and immediately after the training for the selected variable. Data were collected and statistically analyzed using ANCOVA. Scheffe’s post hoc test was applied to determine the significant difference between the paired means. In all the cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference among all the Experimental groups’ namely assisted training, resisted training and assisted and resisted training. Further the results showed combined assisted and resisted training group was found to have greater impact on the group concerned than the assisted training group, resisted training group and control group in enhancing the performance of Stride Frequency.
