Effects of 12weeks regular physical exercise training on male students fitness development in some selected components of fitness in case toba secondary school

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks regular physical exercise training on male student‟s fitness development in some selected component of fitness in case of Toba secondary school. The study employed Experimental research design. 40 male students with the age of (EXG=16.80 1.00 and COG= 16.45 1.05(20 experimental groups and 20 Control group) was randomly selected. Pretest & Posttest measurements were taken from the two groups before & after the intervention of regular physical exercise training, which were performed for 12weeks. The data collected from the participants were analyzed. Descriptive statistics such as arithmetic mean and standard deviation was applied to process the data. Inferential statistics such as paired t-test (t value and p-value) was used to compare the pre training and post training data. Paired t-test and with level of significant at 0.05 by using SPSS version 23, software. The findings of this study indicate that 12 weeks regular physical exercise training have significant effect on male students fitness development in body composition BMI test, muscular strength chin up test, power vertical jump test, flexibility sit and reach test, and agility illusion test. The result of the study shows that the control group has not a significant change at 0.05 level of confidence in the post and pre results whereas the experimental group has a significance difference at 0.05 level of confidence in the post and pre results. The results clearly indicate that 12 weeks regular physical exercise training have a significant effect on male students fitness development at 0.05 level of confidence in the pre and post test results. Hence it is recommended that physical educators and physical education high school teachers include 12 weeks regular physical exercise training for their schedules program for fitness development
