ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of uphill training on systolic blood pressure among women athletes. To achieve the purpose of the study 30 women athletes from Alagappa University, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, India were selected at systematic random. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 to 21 years. The selected women athletes were divided into two equal groups of 15 each namely experimental group and the subjects in this group underwent Uphill training for 8 weeks and the other group was named Control group which did not participate in any training. Systolic Blood Pressure was selected as the criterion variable for the study. The dependent variable was tested prior to and immediately after the training with digital Sphygmomanometer and the unit of measurement was millimetres of mercury (mmHg). The t ratio was the statistical technique used to analyse the means of pretest and post-test of the experimental and control group. Difference was found due to uphill training on Systolic Blood Pressure among the experimental group. Keywords: Uphill Training, Systolic Blood Pressure, Women Athletes, Digital sphygmomanometer
