The Effect of Continuous Training on Some Selected Health Related Fitness Component of Ethiopia Edget Primary School Grade Eight Male Students, In Case Of Arada Sub- City, Addis Ababa City.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate effects of continuous training on improving selected health related fitness component in a case of Ethiopia Edget primary school Arada sub –city, Addis Ababa town. To achieve the purpose, true experimental design was used. The target population of this study was 40 male Ethiopia Edget primary school; these students were taken by using simple random sampling techniques their age was lies in between 15-17 years. The participants of this study were classified in to two groups namely; Continuous training group (n=20) and control group (n=20). Perform continuous training respectively three days per week for 3-month and 60minutes per sessions. One groups’ undergone normal training program and control group cannot take any training. And all groups had taken pre and post-tests. So, all subjects participated in 2 selected health related fitness performance tests: cooper tests or 12 minute run test and 60second sit-up test. The data collected from the study subject was analyzed using SPSS version 24 software by independent t-test to know the significance difference between group and paired sample t-test to know pretest to posttest change of significant at 0.05 level of confidence. Continuous training group were significantly increased on cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance. However, the results of the study indicated that, continuous training group were significant difference in level of cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance. As it was assessed by Levene's test for equality of variances at the level of 12minute run test( P = .000 , MD= 711.2 ), 60second sit test (P = .000, MD = 17.8). So it can be concluded that continuous training as effective as for enhancement of cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance than control group. As comparison paired sample t-test the pre and post test result of cardiovascular endurance performance levels in 12minute run test indicated a statistically significant difference. The result suggests that continuous training group was significantly improved cardiovascular endurance performance (MD = -683.6, SD = 191.1408, p = 0.000) when engaged to 12 weeks of continuous training with selected exercise and as camparison paired sample t- test the pre to post test result of muscular endurance performance levels in 60second sit up test indicated a statistically significant difference. The result suggests that continuous training group was significantly improved muscular endurance performance (MD = -17.1, SD = .9145, p = 0.000) . So it can be concluded that continuous training effectives for enhancement of cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance fitness in 12 weeks training programs of Ethiopia Edget grade eight male students.
