Abstract
The purpose of the study is to find out the effects of circuit training and circuit weight training with and without amino acid on body weight Sixty (N=60) College Annamalai University, India were randomly selected as subjects. Subjects selected were randomly assigned into four groups of fifteen each (n=15). Group-I underwent Circuit Training with supplementation of amino acid, Group-II underwent Circuit Training without supplementation of amino acid, Group-III underwent Circuit weight training with supplementation of amino acid and Group-IV underwent Circuit weight training without supplementation of amino acid for duration of twelve weeks for three days a week. 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-test means was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post-hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. It may be concluded that the Circuit weight training with supplementation of amino acid (placebo) group is better than the other experimental groups in improving Body weight.
