Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2015, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of training on anthropometric, physiological and biochemical variables of Indian under 19 year field hockey players. a total of 30 male field hockey players (u19, age: 16.00-18.99 yr, 17.7 ± 0.5 yr) volunteered for this study. The training sessions were divided into 2 phases (a) Preparatory Phase (PP, 8 weeks) and (b) Competitive Phase (CP, 4 weeks). The training programme consist of aerobic, anaerobic and skill development, and were completed 4 hrs/day; 5 days/week. selected variables were measured at zero level (baseline data, BD) and at the end of PP and CP. a significant (P<0.05) reduction in body fat, recovery heart rate, hemoglobin, total cholesterol, lDlC; and significant (P<0.05) increase in lBM, VO2max, anaerobic power, back and grip strength, serum urea, serum uric acid, hDlC level were noted among the players after the training. however, no significant difference was observed in stature, body mass, maximal heart rate (hrmax), and triglyceride level of the players after the training. The present study may provide useful information to the scientist and coaches to develop their training programme for the young field hockey players.
