The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of circuit training and resistance training with different neuromuscular activities on health-related fitness components of school boys.
A total of sixty (60) boys aged 14-17 years were selected from Sadra School, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Participants who agreed to take part and met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned into three groups of twenty each: Experimental Group A (Circuit Training Group), Experimental Group B (Resistance Training Group), and Control Group C. Group A performed a structured circuit training exercise program three times per week for 30 minutes. Group B performed a structured resistance training exercise program three times per week for 30 minutes. Group C served as the control group and continued with their regular school routine without any structured training.
All selected variables were measured before the start of the training and again after six weeks, following standard procedures. The data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to compare mean differences across the three groups. In cases where significant differences were found, the Least Significant Difference (LSD) post hoc test was applied to determine the degree and direction of adjusted mean differences. The level of significance was set at 0.05 for testing all hypotheses.
