EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON PHYSICAL GROWTH IN MALE CHILDREN
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of exercise on physical growth in male children. Twenty (20) male subjects were used for this study, ten (10) for experimental and ten (10) for control with the age range of between 9-13 years. The anthropometric measurements of both the experimental and control group were measured and recorded which are the mean and standard deviation of the age, weight, height, body circumference and heart rate. For Age Experimental subjects were 10.1 + 0.63, Weight was 30.5 + 3.80, Height was 138.3 + 5.96, and Heart rate were 84.2 + 9.08 while that of the control subjects, Age were 10.2 + 1.4, Weight was 27.6 + 5.31, Height was 132.8 + 7.18 and Heart rate were 85.4 + 12.02. The experimental group were exposed to physical exercise training three times a week for a duration of 30-40 minutes/session for five weeks. At the end of fifth week exercise training program both experimental and control subjects were assembled and similar test like pre-test was conducted on them.
