The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of circuit weight training on the power, muscular endurance and cardiovascular endurance.
The subjects for the study were 12 male students, ranging in age form 20 to 21 and they trained for 10 weeks by circuit weight training at the weight training center of Kyungsung University and were tested 6 factors of physical fitness such as vertical jump, standing long jump, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and Harvard step test.
Statistical techniques utilized in this investigation were mean, standard deviation, deviation mean and t-test.
The 0.05 level was initially established in significance.
The results of the study are as followings;
1. Changes of power after training.
1) The vertical jump was significantly higher (P<0.05) after than prior to training.
2) The standing long jump showed significant increase (P<0.05) after than prior to training.
2. Changes of muscular endurance after training.
1) The push-ups was very significantly higher(P<0.05) after than prior to training.
2) The pull-ups showed the highest increase among all the measurements with very significant difference(P<0.05) after than prior to training.
3) The sit-ups was very significantly increased (P<0.05) after than prior to training.
3. Changes of cardiovascular endurance after training.
1) The physical fitness index in Harvard step test was showed very significantly higher(P<0.05) after than prior to training.
It was concluded that the significant increases were showed in power, muscular endurance and cardiovascular endurance, after 10 week-circuit weight training, and it was demanded the continuous study for the other important factors of physical fitness with circuit weight training.
