Title: Effects of integrative neuromuscular training combined with yoga and stretching exercises on speed of primary school children
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of integrative neuromuscular training combined with yoga and stretching exercises on speed of primary school children. To achieve this purpose of the study, sixty primary school children from Alagappa Fitness Foundation, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu were selected as subjects at random and their age range between 7 to 10 years. The study was formulated as pre and post random group design, in which sixty subjects were divided into four equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=15, INT) underwent integrative neuromuscular training. The experimental group-2 (n=15, INT-Y) underwent integrative neuromuscular training combined with yoga. The experimental group-3 (n=15, INT-S) underwent integrative neuromuscular training combined with stretching exercises. The group-4 (n=15, CG) acted as a control group, they did not participate any specific training. In this study three training programs were adopted as independent variables and the nature of speed was selected as dependent variable and it was tested by 30 meters run, the clocked time was recorded in seconds. The selected three treatment groups were performed four days in a weak for the period of 16 weeks. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of Paired sample t-test has been used for finding significant pre test to post test mean difference in each group with respect to each parameters and analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA), for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference. The Scheffe's post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed in this study. The results clearly proved that there was significant improvement on speed in experimental groups than the control group.
