Impact of Harness Training on Selected Core Strength Variables Among the Varsity Men Players
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study aimed to examine the effects of harness training on leg and back strength among varsity male students. A total of 30 participants were selected and randomly divided into two groups: the harness training group and a control group. Group I, comprising 15 participants, followed a structured 12-week harness training program, while Group II (the control group) included 15 participants who did not undergo any specific training during the same period. Both groups had their leg and back strength measured using a dynamometer before and after the 12-week training. To determine significant differences between the groups, an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was performed, with a significance level set at .05. The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22.0. Results from the pre- and post-tests indicated significant improvements in leg and back strength for the harness training group. The analysis confirmed statistically significant differences between the two groups, suggesting that harness training effectively enhances core strength, boosts performance, and lowers the risk of injuries for athletes.
