Abstract:
The main objective of this study was to examine the effect of muscular strength training on the upper and lower muscle strength performance of bethel evangelical secondary school students’. The study comprises forty (40),health students often grade ten (10) in BESS; selected students were inclusive criterion-based purposive sampling from the class (i.e. height (1.59-1.78), weight (46-62), HBMI (18.38-24.60), NRHR (60-78) and the age of 16-17.As Ritchie al., (2003) were indicated “members of a sample are chosen with a purpose to represent a location or type in relation to the criterion”. Similarly, muscular strength training was systematically used exclusive criterion-based students’ with heart failure problem, females during menstrual cycle, pregnant women and behavioral problem.Additionally, physical education teacher were selected as a supervisor. The Quasi-experimental study is used to carry out this research. The study subjects were selected from the availability samples. In this attempt, data were collected through pre-test and post-test results of eight muscular strength variables on the students’ performance level. In this quasi-experimental research design, the Paired-Sample T-test was used to compute and analyze pre-test and post-test results of the selected students and the results revealed that the selected group outperformed significantly (p<0.05).The study results clearly reported, that there was significance difference between pre-test and post-test of muscular strength exercise tests on the students’ performance level. Ultimately, the study post-test result was revealed, that 12-week muscular strength training enhances muscular strength of upper and lower body of the students.Furthermore, there was better improvement in pushups and wall sits. In standing broad jumps lower improvement of performance was observed relative to the rest muscular strength variables.Finally, based on the major findings some valuable suggestions were forwarded to some valuable places beginning from school principal to higher Federation.
