About

This was a parallel group randomized control trail that utilized purposive sampling to recruit 32 participants. The 32 students are divided into 2 groups, namely the group of Tabata Training and Periodized Resistance Training. Periodized resistance training exercises will be performed three days a week during the eight-week period in group A. The periodized resistance training program started with warm up and continued by some exercises such as smith press, seated press, squat, lying dumbbell leg cruel, leg press, lying burble extension, sit up and finally the subjects cooled down. At the beginning of the study, the exercises will be conducted 60% intensity while eight maximum repetition and 10% intensity will be added after every week. The cycle will be repeated 1 times each exercise for a total of 8 repetitions. Each exercise will performed individually by each participant in a group activity. Tabata training will be performed in group B that included their Exercise sessions started with a general warm-up, and then stretching session followed by a specific warmup. The general warm-up consisted of 5 minutes of marching in place at 60% of the estimated maximal heart rate (HR max= 220 - age) measured with a heart rate monitor. The stretching session included major muscle groups and joints including triceps, deltoid, trapezius, neck extensors, pectoralis, biceps, latissimus dorsi, hamstrings, quadriceps, and gastrocnemius. Each stretch will maintained for 15 to 20 seconds. Then, a specific warm-up session followed that included 2 thruster repetitions of 30 seconds each, followed by 30 seconds of rest. Thrusters are a combination of 2 strength-training exercises: squat and overhead press. After the specific warm-up will be completed, the Tabata protocol began with participants performing thrusters as fast as possible for 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of resting. During the active part, participants will encouraged to reach near 100% of their HR max. Intensity will evaluated with heart rate monitors and also with the Borg rating of perceived exertion. The cycle will be repeated 7 times for a total of 8 repetitions in 4 minutes. After completing the protocol, a 5-minute cool-down period (slow walking and stretching exercises) was completed. Total duration of the Tab protocol will be approximately 19 to 20 minutes and will be completed 3 times per week for 8 consecutive weeks
