EFFECT OF STRUCTURED RESISTANCE TRAINING AND WEIGHT TRAINING ON SPEED AMONG POWERLIFTERS

Abstract

Aim of the study to find out the effect of structured resistance training and weight training on speed among powerlifters study was formulated as a true random group design, consisting of a pre test and post test. The subjects (n=60) were randomly selected who represented Yogi Vemana University Inter College Power Lifting competition and their age between 18-23 years. assigned to three equal groups of twenty men powerlifters in each group.
