Abstract
Many researchers proved strength training is one of the appropriate method planned to develop physical, physiological and performance of the sports persons. Hence, it is good to find out the effect of weight training program on the selected physical and physiological variables of college women. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty (30) physically active women were randomly selected from Selvam Arts and Sciences College in Namakkal Dist, Tamilnadu, during the academic year 2016-17. Their age ranged from 17 to 21 years. The selected subjects were divided into two (15) equal groups, namely Training (TG) and control (CG) groups. The training group underwent weekly three days for six weeks of weight training and no treatment was given to the Control group. The collected data were analysed and computed by t test. The result of the study shows that weight training produced a significant changes in physical (Muscular strength-t = 5.54 and Speed-t = 8.86, P < 0.05) and physiological (Resting heart rate-t = 6.50 and Breath holding time-t = 10.96, P < 0.05) variables of the training group.
