The effects of two resistance training systems (Drop sets) and (Super sets) on some body and physical measurements among physical education college students

Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effect of resistance training systems (Drop sets) and (Super sets) on some body and physical measurements, The experimental method was used, And the study sample consisted of (8) students from physical education students who were divided into two equal experimental groups. The first group consisted of (4) students involved in a drop sets resistances training system program, and the second experimental group consisted of (4) students involved in a super sets resistance training system program. The duration of each program was (8) weeks, (3) training units per week. It was measure the right and left humerus circumference, the right and left thigh circumference, and the chest circumference, the maximum strength of the back and leg muscles were tested using dynamometer, the standing long jump test used to measure the power, the set-ups test for (30) secende to measure the strength endurance, the maximum strength of the chest and arm muscles using a (1RM) flat chest test, The results of the study indicated that there were no statistically significant differences at the level of α ≤ 0.05 in the post measurement between the Drop sets and the Super sets on some physical measurements, It was apparent differences improvement higher for the Drop set system than the Super sets system in the left and right humerus circumference, the left and right thigh circumference, the chest circumference, the maximum strength of the back and legs muscles, and the speed strength by the standind long jump test, strength endurance by Sit -ups (30)s , the researchers recommended to use the drop sets system when teaching and training on skills that need strength, strength endurance and speed, among students of the faculty of physical education
