Abstract
The present study was designed to find out the effect of conventional resistance training and ballistic training on selected body composition and strength parameters. In our study, forty-five men students B.P.ED in the department of physical education, TNPESU Chennai were selected randomly ad experimental subjects. Their age ranged from, 18-24 years. Selected subjects were grouped into three with each fifteen members. Group 1 underwent conventional resistance training, group 2 underwent ballistic training and group 3 acted as control. Two different types of strength training exercises were performed for 4 days a week for 12 weeks. Variables include body composition and strength parameters such as maximum strength, explosive strength and strength endurance were measured and analyzed appropriately using the desired test equipment. The data were collected and statistically analyzed by using ANOVA and DMRT to find out the level of significance at p<0.05. From the present study it was concluded that ballistic training groups produced better results in reducing total body fat, increase in lean body mass and improvement in strength and endurance.
