Comparative Study of Resistance Training with Different Frequency on the Selected Machine Exercises Among University Males

The purpose of this study was to compare the resistance training groups with different frequency in a week on the selected machine exercises among university males. Method: Hundred participants selected randomly to join and part of this research study. Participant’s ages were in the range of 18-24 years, forty minutes of training per session. These subjects separated into two groups such as; group-A (N=50, two days of training in a week for eleven weeks), group -B (N=50, four days of training in a week for 5 and half weeks). Both the groups had gone through 22 resistance-training sessions. The impact of resistance training protocols with different frequency in a week on the groups in the selected exercises i.e. (leg press, leg extension, leg curls, high pull downs, sitting shoulder press, rear delt, sitting extensions and arm curls) had shown significant improvement. Furthermore, interestingly the group-A had shown greater performance in all the selected resistance training exercises. Group-A performance with regard to the increase by percentages; Sitting leg press performance increased by percent (18.27%). Leg extension performance was increased by percent (15.12%). Leg curls (increased by 14.22%). Lat pull down (increased by 12.78%). Sitting shoulder press (25.16%). Rear delt (increased by 10.04%). Triceps extension (performance increased by 7.83%). Arm curls performance increased by (8.74%). These findings were consistent with the previous studies they are as follows; (M. S. Faigenbaum et al, 1997). In a previous research, study it was investigated with regard to the training frequency comparison for the parallel bench press exercise 03 sessions is profound to 1 or 2 sessions (ACSM 1998).
