Effects of Traditions Long Boat Skills Training Program with Circuit Training Program up on Physical Fitness of Traditions Long Boat Paddler
Main Article Content
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.
