Consequences of Orange Theory Fitness Training and Coalesce of Yogic Practice on Muscular Strength of Obese

Abstract

Aim of the study was to find consequences of Orange Theory fitness training and coalesce of yogic practice on muscular strength of obese. For this purpose, sixty (N=60) men obese were randomly selected as subjects. The subjects were divided randomly into four groups of fifteen each (n=15) named Orange Theory Fitness Training, Yogic Practice, Coalesce of Orange Theory Fitness Training and Yogic Practice.  Group-I underwent Orange Theory Fitness Training, Group-II underwent Yogic Practice, Group-III underwent Coalesce of Orange Theory Fitness Training and Yogic Practice and Group-IV acted as Control group. The experimental groups underwent respective training period for three days per week for eight weeks. Muscular Strength only selected as dependent variable for this study, and it was measured by bench press test. All the subjects were tested before and after the intervention on the muscular strength. The data obtained from the experimental groups before and after the experimental period were statistically analyzed with dependent ‘t’-test and Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post assessment means was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s Post hoc test was applied to determine the paired mean differences. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level for all the cases.  The Coalesce of Orange Theory Fitness Training and Yogic Practice group has been found to be better than Orange Theory Fitness Training group, Yogic Practice group and Control group in developing muscular strength.
