ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to find out the influence of different Resistance
Training Protocols on Resting Pulse Rate of college men students, One hundred twenty male
college students from Government Commerce College, Gandhinagar were selected as
subjects at random and their age was between Eighteen to Twenty Two years.
The selected subjects were randomly divided into three equal groups of forty each
(n=40). Group I and II were treated as Experimental Group and Group-III was considered as
Control Group. All the subjects were given basic Strength Training Exercises without Weight
and with minimal Weight for three weeks prior to pre-test and training in order to get initial
adaptation for undergoing Resistance Training during their training period. Initial tests were
taken for all the subjects on Resting Pulse Rate. It was concluded from the results of the study
that there was significant difference in the pre-test and post-test of the three Experimental
Groups. It was also concluded from the study that there was significant difference in the
adjusted post-test means.

INTRODUCTION:
Training is a planned and systematic process progressively given for a long duration
in which individuals are graded. Training aims at moulding the human’s Psychological and
Physiological functions in order to meet demanding task.
Physiological Variables may be defined as the scales that measure the function of
human systems. In human being a variety of Physiological Functions such as Resting Pulse
Rate, Breath Holding Time, Vital Capacity and VO2 Max show distinct changes in the course
of training, with the values falling to their lowest during rest. This phenomenon is accepted
only in sports field. These changes in physiological functions have been found to be
associated with changes in performance.
Blood stream carries the main forms of fat called cholesterol and triglycerides. These
fats are lipids come partly from food, partly from the body’s own production in the liver. Fats
are not water soluble and hence cannot travel through the blood easily. With the help of
lipoproteins, digested fat from the liver is carried to various parts of the body by the blood
vessels. The cholesterol returns to the liver and repeats its job.
The lipoproteins are packages of cholesterol placed in liver. Lipoproteins are made
from Lipids and Proteins. There are mainly four kinds of Lipoprotein Packages namely
Chylomicrons, Very Low Density of Lipoproteins (VLDL), Low Density of Lipoproteins
(LDL), High Density of Lipoproteins (HDL), High Density of Lipoproteins has more
Protein content. (Sri Lakshmi, 2005).
