| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness
and acceptabilty of a ten week aerobic training programme to
improve the aerobic power of football referees to enable them to run
at least 2600 metres in the Cooper's 12 Minute Test. The study also
investigated whether there was any significant difference in the
distances covered by the three groups of football referees in the
Cooper's 12 Minute Test after ten weeks of training. It evaluated
whether there was a significant difference in the two training
methods employed in this study. The Cooper's 12 Minute Test was
used to measure the aerobic power of the referees. The design of
this study focussed upon individual distances covered in the pretest,providing training for ten weeks and determining if referees
improved in aerobic power as a result of treatment.
Three hypothesis were tested at .05 level of significance. The
dependent t-test was used to test hypothesis one. The results
indicated that the aerobic power of the subjects in experimental
group two improved significantly. All the subjects in experimental
group two were able to run more than 2600 metres in the Cooper's 12
Minute Test. ANOVA procedures were used to test hypothesis two.
The results ANOVA indicated that there was a significant difference in
the distance covered by the three groups of referees in the Cooper's
12 Minute Test after ten weeks of training. The Newman-Kleus
method of making multiple comparison indicated that the experimental
group two showed the best performance and the control group the
poorest in the Cooper's 12 Minute Test. The third hypothesis was
tested using the independent t-test. The results indicated that the
training method used by the experimental group two was better than
the training methods used by the other two groups. All three null
hypothesis were rejected. |
