ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the study was to find out the comparative analysis of flexibility and explosive strength between resistance-trained individuals and CrossFit participants. The study has been conducted on 30 resistance-trained individuals and 30 cross-fit participants. The subjects of Resistance Training were selected from Total Fitness Gym, Heirangoithong, Manipur and CrossFit subjects were selected from 7 Clan Strength and Conditioning, Nagampal, Manipur. The age of the subjects ranged between 20 and 30 years. The study was conducted on flexibility and explosive strength. The data was collected through sit and reach test for flexibility and standing broad jump for explosive strength. To find out significant differences between the groups, an independent ‘t’-test was used with the help of SPSS software. The level of significance chosen was 0.05. After the analysis, it was revealed that there was a significant difference in flexibility between the two groups. Whereas, no significant difference was found in explosive strength between resistance-trained individuals and cross-fit participants. Therefore, the study revealed that CrossFit participants are more flexible as compared to resistance-trained individuals. Future research can also be examined with larger sample size, health related physical fitness, motor fitness variables etc.
