Effect of Skipping Rope Training on Resting Heart Rate and Cardiorespiratory Endurance Among Soccer Players

Abstract

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of skipping rope training on resting heart rate and cardio-respiratory endurance among soccer players. A total of forty male soccer players (age 19 – 24 years) were selected from Manipur University, Imphal, Manipur (India) who participated in the national-level competition. The subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups, the experimental group (n=20) and the control group (n=20). The groups were measured before the intervention with resting heart rate and cardio-respiratory endurance to find out the overall significant effect among soccer players. After the initial test, the subjects of the experimental group participated in a supervised skipping rope training program, where no special exercise was administered to the control group. Skipping rope training programs were carried out for a period of six weeks, five days of training (Monday to Friday), and 60 minutes for each session. The experimental group showed improved scores in resting heart rate and cardio-respiratory endurance compared to the control group (p<0.05). The mean of the resting heart rate for the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group were 58.60 and 56.45 respectively. The values of the cardio-respiratory endurance were 72.41 and 80.47 respectively. The significant improvement in skipping rope training of the experimental group might be due to the six weeks of the soccer players. Skipping rope trainprogramsgram significantly improved physiological variables such as resting heart rate and motor fitness variables such as cardio-respiratory endurance of the male soccer players.

Enhancing cardiorespiratory and muscular endurance in football players: The impact of a six-week interval training program

“…Gavanda et al (2022) also indicated similar results in 7-weeks of functional training on fitness ability outcomes in young adults. Further, Allison et al (2017); Bassuk andManson (2014), andSingh et al (2022a) observed a critical enhancement in physical wellness components (speed, endurance, muscular endurance, strength, explosive power, flexibility, and agility).…”

“…Skipping rope training programs significantly improved physiological variables such as resting heart rate and motor fitness variables such as cardiorespiratory endurance of the male soccer players Kirthika et al (2019). andSingh et al (2022a) studied the effects of stair climbing on selected endurance parameters such as cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular endurance among football players, and the result of this study reported that the stair climbing programmed improves cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular endurance among football players as compared to the control group.…”

The impact of structured regular physical activity on the development of individual motor skills in school-aged children

“…Here are some possible quantitative changes that can occur: increased speed and precision, improved balance and coordination, increased strength and flexibility, and increased endurance. It is important to note that the results of additional training may vary between individuals and depend on several factors, including the student's level of dedication, quality of training, and genetic factors (Fatoni Yanuar & Budi Sunaryo, 2022;Laishram Santosh Singh, 2022;Mekić et al, 2022). Regular evaluation and measurement of students' motor skills can help quantitatively understand the impact of additional training.…”
