The Effectiveness of Circuit Training on Agility and Body Mass Index Among Secondary School Students in Putrajaya
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 05
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether a modified circuit training program for less fit secondary school students based on body mass index could improve their fitness levels. The study was designed as a pre and post quasi-experimental, with 20 students randomly selected, participating in eight weeks of circuit training program. The results showed that there was no significant difference in respondents' body mass index before and after (p=0.39) circuit training. However, there is a slight positive correlation on students' agility (r>0.9). This suggests that respondents' fitness levels has a tendency to increse with a frequent implementation of circuit training program. In conclusion, this study suggests that modified circuit training can improve the agility of less fit students if implemented continuously.
