Effect of Submaximal and Maximal Load of Bycycle Training on Selected Physiological Variables among Handball Male Players

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of sub maximal and maximal intensities of bicycle training on selected physiological variables among handball male players. To achieve the purpose of the study 30 handball male players from the different colleges were randomly selected as subjects and their age were 20-25 years. They were assigned into three groups namely, experimental group I, experimental group II and control group. Experimental group I served as bicycle sub maximal training group-I, second group served as bicycle maximal training group-II and third group served as control group. The selected physiological variables are resting pulse rate and VO2 max. The study was true formulated as a true random group design consisting of pre test and post test. The subjects (N=30) were randomly assigned to three equal group of ten handball male players in each. The groups were assigned as experimental group-I (sub maximal bicycle training), experimental group-II (maximal bicycle training) and control group respectively. Pre test were conducted for all the selected subjects on selected physiological variables. After the experimental period of six weeks post test were conducted and the scores were recorded. The difference between initial and final scores in selected physiological variables were subjected to statistical treatment using Analysis of Covariance to find out whether the mean differences were significant or not.
