Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of eight weeks of supervised parcourse training on enhancing the quality of performance in leg strength, muscular strength, explosive power and anaerobic power. For this purpose 30 untrained male students, aged 18 to 22 years took part in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to either parcourse training (n=15) or control (n=15) group. The training regimen lasted for eight weeks. The selected criterion variables were assessed using standard tests and procedures, before and after the training regimen. Analysis of covariance was used to determine the significant difference existing between pretest and posttest on selected criterion variables. The analysis of data revealed that eight weeks of parcouse training had an impact of 13.91% on muscular strength, 25.57% on explosive power and 18.23% on cardio respiratory endurance. These results suggest that parcouse training has significant influence in improving selected dependent variables
