| Popis: | 106 Full-body training, including muscle and aerobic training, typically involve a variety of equipment, each of which is designed to target specific muscle groups. Battle rope training provides a cost- and space-efficient alternative to conventional methods of full-body training since only the battle rope and a training space is necessary. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of battle rope training over an eight-week duration on the fitness of college students. A total of 23 students participated in this study and the participants were divided into two groups; the experimental group had 12 students (4 males and 8 females), and the control group had 11 students (4 males and 7 females). A BIODEX isokinetic machine was used to test muscle strength and muscle endurance. A CORTEX gas analyzer was used to measure VO2 max. A PROKIN system was used to measure core stability, and a BERTEX force plate was used to analyze balance stability during a one-leg stand. Lastly, DEXA scan was used to measure body fat percentage. After a pre-test was completed, the subjects underwent eight weeks of battle rope interval training, and results were collected upon completion. Body fat percentage, trunk control ability, VO2 max, trunk flexion fatigue value, and trunk back strength maximum all showed significant differences after training. Battle rope training has shown to lower body fat percentage and enhance various functions of the trunk. Nevertheless, for more effective training results, the battle rope training schedule and cycle should still be customized for each user. |
