Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Calisthenics exercises are a form of exercise consisting of a variety of simple, often rhythmical movements, intended to increase body strength and flexibility using only one’s body weight for resistance. AIM: The present intervention was designed to investigate whether a 2-week period of Calisthenic training has an effect on muscular strength and muscular endurance. METHOD: 20 healthy untrained college students were randomly divided into Calisthenics Group and Control Group. The training was performed for 3 days a week for 2 consecutive weeks. Lower body strength and muscular endurance were tested using Sargent Jump Test and Sit Ups Test. Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Mann Whitney-U Test were used for within-group and between-group data analysis. RESULT: There was a statistically significant difference in the pre-test and post-test values of both groups. Both groups proved significantly better in managing strength and endurance, however, the comparison of the post-test data of both groups showed that no statistically significant difference was seen between both groups. CONCLUSION: Both the groups were individually effective in improving Strength and Endurance of College Students however 2 weeks of calisthenics training was not sufficient to provide a statistically significant result.
