Abstract
Objectives:
The purpose of the study was to examine the isolation and joint impact of SAQ
and resistance trainings on specific psychomotor and physiological variables among
sprinters. Implement three different training capsules for selected experimental groups
to enhance the speed training determinants among sprinters and also to arbitrate which
training capsule yields the most substantial improvements in the targeted variables
among the selected groups.
Methods:
Seventy four female intercollegiate level sprinters falling between the age
ranges 18 to 23 were chosen for the study and divided into four groups using
randomized control design namely SAQ training group (n=18), resistance training
group (n=18), combined SAQ and resistance training group (n=19) as well as control
group (n=19). All participants were assessed before and after 12 weeks of intervention.
Statistical techniques employed were paired sample t-tests, Analysis of Covariance
(ANCOVA), and Scheffe’s post-hoc test.
Results:
Statistical results revealed there was significant improvement found between
pre and post test mean among sprinters on the chosen dependent variables on both
isolated and combined training due to impact of twelve weeks of intervention whereas
no significant development found in control group. Significance was tested at 0.05
level of significance. The statistical result also shows there was a notable difference
exists among three experimental groups and control group.
Conclusion:
The Outcome of the study demonstrated that both isolated training capsules
exert distinct influences on sprinters performance, with SAQ training enhancing
specific anaerobic power, and resistance training predominantly influencing muscle
strength. Combined approach showcased a synergistic effect, highlighting the potential
increase in reaction time, speed, co-ordination, explosive power, resting pulse rate and
oxygen saturation including muscle strength and anaerobic power that addresses
multiple facets of sprinting prowess
