Aim: To examine the effects of yogic practices, High Intensity Interval Training and Combination of High Intensity Interval Training and Yogic Practices on Risk Factors of Coronary Heart Disease in obese adult.
Methods: Eighty obese men (mean[SD] age24.4 {1.3}years) were randomly divided into four groups: Yogic Practices group (YPG: n=20): High Intensity Interval training group (HIITG: n=20): Combination of High Intensity Interval Training and Yogic Practices group (CHITYPG: n=20): Control group (CG: n=20): All the subjects were evaluated before and after the training period using five tests: i) Body mass index; ii) Systolic blood pressure: iii) Diastolic blood pressure: iv) LDL Cholesterol: and v) HDL Cholesterol: The yogic practice group underwent yogic practices consisted of asanas, pranayama and meditation. The High Intensity Interval Training Group underwent High intensity interval training consisted of exercise. The Combination of Yogic Practices and High Intensity Interval Training underwent High Intensity Interval Training followed by yogic practices. The control group has continued to carry out the daily activities during the experiments. The experimental groups trained 3 days a week for 16 weeks
Results: Training produced significant improvements in body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, LDL Cholesterol and HDL Cholesterol in all the intervention groups from pre to post tests. The improvements were significantly higher for the CHITYPG than for the YP, HIIT and Control groups; 18.6%, 10%, 5% and 2% for the body mass index (p<0.05); 20%, 15%, 10% and 2% for Systolic blood pressure (p<0.05); 8%, 6%, 4% and 2% for Diastolic Blood pressure (p<0.05); 30%, 20%, 10% and 5% for HDL Cholesterol (p<0.05); 20%,15%,10% and 5% for LDL Cholesterol (p<0.05) respectively.
Conclusion: Combination of yogic practices and high intensity interval training produced greater improvements in the coronary heart risk factors of Body Mass Index, Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, LDL Cholesterol and HDL Cholesterol than each of the training programs performed separately.

The objective of the study was to find out the varied modalities of training on performance variable of male cricket players. For the purpose of this study, thirty male cricket selected subject from Art and science college Ooty, and their age ranged from 18 to 24 years. The 60 Subjects were randomly selected and they divided into four equal groups of 15 each, such as weight/sprint training group, aerobic training group, combination group and control group. The experimental group 1 underwent weight/sprint training for three days per week for eight weeks. The experimental group 2 underwent aerobic training for three days per week for eight weeks. The experimental group 3 underwent combination of weight/sprint training and aerobic training for alternative days per week for eight weeks The selected criterion variables were assessed using standard tests and procedures, prior to and immediately after the training programme. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used as a statistical procedure to establish the significant difference, if any, existing between pretest and posttest data on selected dependent variables. The findings of the study revealed that due to the effect of eight weeks combination of weight/sprint and aerobic training showed the better improvement. The selected physical variables such as speed, flexibility and standing throw have significantly improved.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the interference effect of varied modalities training on explosive power and VO2 max of male cricket players. For this purpose 60 male cricket player were selected from Ooty, Govt. Arts college, TN, India and sedentary healthy men, with mean of age: 20.2 ±1.8 year's old, height: 168 ± 4.6 cm and weight: 63.5 ± 5.4 kg, voluntarily participated in this study. Initially, subjects were randomly assigned to one of four training groups; weight/sprint (n=15), aerobic (n=15), weight/sprint with aerobic (n=15) and control (n=15). Weight/sprint training group performed weight training followed by sprint training for 6 weeks (3days/w, 6 exercises/ 3set, 75-85% 1-RM/ 40-50 % HRR, 3 sprint 4-6 reputation, aerobic training group performed step aerobic training program for 6 weeks (3days/w, 25min :30sec:25 min for 40-50 HHR , and combined group performed combination of weight/sprint with aerobic training for 6 weeks. Control group did not participate in any of the above. All subjects performed VO2max (Bruce test) and explosive power (vertical jump test) before and after of the training program. T-test and One–way ANOVA, ANCOVA and scheffe’s post hoc test was applied for examining the hypothesizes. The result of statistical analysis showed that there is significant difference on VO2 max between combination (10.6 %) versus weight/sprint (7.4 %) and aerobic (5.1 %) (p = 0.95) and on explosive power between combination (26.5 %) versus weight/sprint (19.5 %) and aerobic (9.82 %) (p = 0.31). Conclusion: combination of weight/sprint with aerobic training produced significant improvement on Vo2 max and explosive power better then the weight/sprint training, aerobic training and control group.

Sixty collegiate male handball players were randomly assigned from karnataka state elite collegiate handball players represented in inter collegiate tournaments, the aged range from 18 - 24(± 6 month) years.Background Previous research has shown that collegiate male players can increase their speed and explosive power as a result of regular participation in a progressive sports specific training program. However, the most effective exercise prescription regarding the number of repetitions remains questionable.
Objective To compare the effects of a sports specific training-I and Sports Specific training-II on the development of speed and explosive power in collegiate male handball players. Intervention Sixty were divided in to three equal group. Experimental group I (n=20) under went sports specific training-I the players performed plyometric and heavy load resistance with skill practice (Experimental group II (n=20) under went sports specific training-II the players performed plyometric and moderate load resistance with skill practice and control group did not go any specific training. In 4 days session per week of sports specific training for 8 weeks, The control group did not practice any specific training. Sargent Vertical Jump test for measuring the explosive power and 50 meter dash for measuring the speed.
Results varied Sports specific training 50 meter dash test significantly increased speed in both training groups compared with that in the control subjects. Increases of 8.65 % and 6.80 %, respectively, for the plyometric and heavy load resistance with skill practice. Polymeric and moderate load groups resistance with skill practice were observed. Sargent vertical jump test significantly increased explosive power in both exercise groups compared with that in the control subjects, Increases of 14.99 % and 10.82 %, respectively, although gains resulting from high repetition-moderate load training (6.54 ± 0.43 repetitions) were significantly greater than those resulting from low repetition-heavy load training (6.71 ± .40 repetitions). On the speed exercise, only the plyometric and heavy load resistance with skill practice group made gains in 50 meter dash (8.65 %) and explosive power (14.99 %) that were significantly greater than gains in the control subjects. Conclusion These findings support the concept that speed and explosive power can be improved during the varied modalities of sports specific training on collegiate male handball players.
