COMPARISON OF CARDIOVASCULAR EFFICIENCY BETWEEN ATHLETES AND WEIGHTLIFTERS

Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to find out and compare cardiovascular efficiency between athletes and weightlifters. Forty samples was selected randomly (twenty athletes and twenty weightlifters) from Pune club. For the purpose of establishing reliability of data the test for cardiovascular efficiency between athlete and weightlifter Harvard step test was used and average was recorded, as a final data. Average performance test of the cardiovascular efficiency of athletes were ±95.70 and the average for weightlifter were ± 79.98 respectively. Result reveled that there was no significant difference in cardiovascular efficiency between athletes and weightlifters. Independent “t” test was implemented for analysis of data. The result of this study revealed that there is no significant different in cardiovascular efficiency between athletes and weightlifters.
