Effect of Complex Training on Selected Physical Fitness Variables among College Men Students

Abstract

Sports have a big influence on every human life, either directly or indirectly.  Modern lifestyle choices have an impact on the general health of society. Through exercise, athletes can safely and successfully maximize their genetic potential. Introducing the team to a performance rating system is one of the main purposes of athlete training. A person who is physically healthy may carry out his daily tasks with enthusiasm and confidence, free from fatigue and fear. Plyometrics and high-intensity resistance training are combined to create complex training. One of the most sophisticated types of sports training, complex training incorporates plyometrics, strength training, and movement specialized to a given sport. Both the neural system and fast-twitch muscle fibers are concurrently activated and worked during complex training. The fast twitch muscle fibers are activated by the strength training. It works well for preparing the body for physically demanding activities. This increases both strength and endurance. It may be possible to simultaneously benefit multiple muscle groups by combining different forms of training into one. As a result, the muscles require more nourishment. This study's goal was to assess how sophisticated training affected a few physical fitness metrics in male college students. Thirty male students, ages 21 to 25, from Alagappa University College of Physical Education in Karaikudi, took part in the study. The participants were split into two equal groups at random: the Complex Training Group (n = 15) and the Control Group (n = 15). Strength and speed, as determined by the 1-RM leg press and 60-meter dash, respectively, were among the chosen fitness variables. While the control group continued their usual routine without any specific training, the experimental group participated in a 12-week sophisticated training program. The t-test was used to examine the data from the pre-test and post-test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that while the control group exhibited no discernible changes, the sophisticated training group showed notable gains in strength and speed. These findings demonstrate how well sophisticated training can improve physical fitness.
