DR. MADHURI S.CHENDKE
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Water polo training on Leg Strength of inter-collegiate swimmers. Materials and Methods: For achieving the purpose of this study total 50 male beginner inter-collegiate swimmers were selected as subject from Degree College of Physical Education, Amravati, Maharashtra. Their age was ranging from 18 to 25 years; Leg Strength was recorded in kilogram by using Leg dynamometer on both the selected groups i.e. Experimental and Control groups, Only experimental group underwent water polo training for 48 weeks. Pre, Mid and Post tests were applied for both the groups to find out the significant effect of water polo training Leg Strength. Result: The data were analyzed through ‘t’-test and ANOVA statistical techniques. The statistical findings revealed that experimental group significantly improved Leg Strength through swimming training. Conclusions: Leg Strength has significantly improve among the subjects of Experimental group after 48 weeks of swimming training, whereas insignificant effect has occurred due to 24 weeks of water polo training programme, whereas no significant improvement has been shown in Control group.
