Abstract

This research aimed to compare the effects of a traditional long-boat paddling skill training program combined with circuit training on the physical fitness of traditional long-boat athletes. The sample consisted of 40 male athletes who were divided into two groups of 20 each: a control group and an experimental group. The training program lasted for eight weeks, three days per week. The research instruments included: (1) a traditional long-boat paddling skill training program combined with circuit training with an IOC of 0.85 and 0.80, respectively; and (2) a physical fitness test for rowing athletes. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-tests. Dependent t-tests were used for within-group comparisons, and independent t-tests were used for between-group comparisons before training, after four weeks, and after eight weeks.


            The results showed that: (1) the physical fitness of the experimental group significantly improved between the pre-test, week 4, and week 8 at the .05 level; and (2) comparisons between the control and experimental groups revealed no significant differences in overall physical fitness after four and eight weeks of training. However, arm muscle power showed a statistically significant difference at the .05 level.
