EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL CONDITIONING IN IMPROVING HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN CHOLESTEROL (HDL-C) LEVEL AMONG TRAINED AND UNTRAINED WOMEN

Abstract


The intention of this investigation was to assess the effects of physical conditioning in improving High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) level among trained and untrained women. The study was delimited to twenty trained and twenty untrained women from the inhabitants of Ongole, Andhra Pradesh, India. They were further sub-divided into experimental and control group of 10 subjects in each category. The subjects were of the age group of 22 to 25 years. The duration of the training period was restricted to twelve weeks and the number of sessions per week was confined to six. High density lipoprotein cholesterol level was selected as dependent variable and assessed during pre and posttest by standard test and procedure. Three-way analysis of variance was used to find out the influence of each factor independently. Due to the effect of physical conditioning the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of trained and untrained groups subjects were significantly increased. The result of the study also indicates that, significant differences exist among trained and untrained women irrespective of groups and tests, significant differences exist between experimental and control groups irrespective of category and tests, significant differences exist between pre and posttests irrespective of category and groups on high density lipoprotein cholesterol level.
