The Impact of Circuit Training among Volleyball and Basketball Female Players of Jammu North Region

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess how a circuit training program affects particular physical attributes in female basketball and volleyball players in the North Jammu area. For the purpose of the study 60 female athletes, whose  ages ranges in-between 13 to 14 years, participated in the study (29 were basketball players and 31 were volleyball players). For every sport, participants' body mass, weight, and height were measured. Tests such as the Standing Jump (SJ), Countermovement Jump (CMJ), Drop Jump (DJ) 20cm, Hexagon Agility Test, 10x5m Shuttle Run Test, T-Test, and Lateral Change Direction were administered to them both before and after the intervention. Over the course of 11 weeks, the groups engaged in three 15-minute circuit training sessions per week.
A statistically significant difference in the impact of the intervention on both groups was found when the improvement in physical components was compared using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with repeated assessments. A significance criterion of 0.05 (p<0.05) was established. According to the study, in order to optimize performance, this training approach should be started early and continued throughout the sporting season.
