ABSTRACT:
The primary aim of this study is to find out the effect of intensive interval training on resting heart rate and breath holding time among Kabaddi players. To achieve the purpose, 24 Kabaddi players were selected from Thoothukudi District Kabaddi players and their age ranged from 18 to 24 years. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups with 12 subjects each namely experimental and control groups. Experimental group underwent intensive interval training programme three alternative days in a week for period of 6 weeks. Resting heart rate and breath holding time were selected as dependent variables. Pre and post tests randomized control group design was used as experimental design. The collected data from the subjects were analyzed with dependent t- test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). It was concluded that the resting heart rate and breath holding time had significantly improved due to 6 weeks of intensive interval training and control group didn’t produced any changes on selected dependent variables.
