INFLUENCE OF THE INSANITY WORKOUT ON THE EXERCISE CAPACITY OF MILITARY STUDENTS

doi:10.35189/dpeskj.2020.59.4.10

Abstract

The research purpose is to improve the exercise capacity of military students (VAM, VO2 max and average heart rate) by applying the Insanity Workout in the physical education lesson. The following scientific methods were used: documentation, observation, statistical processing and graphical representation of the results. Subject assessment was based on the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (YYIR1), and Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor was used. The research included the following stages: stage 1 - conducting an initial assessment; stage 2 - applying the Insanity Workout; stage 3 - performing a final assessment of the studied subjects to assess their response (evolution/involution/stagnation); stage 4 - interpretation of results and conclusion. Based on the paired t-test, the following results are obtained: the increase of the average maximum aerobic speed achieved at the end of the training period is statistically significant, p = 0.005 < 0.05 for t = 3.003 and df = 29. The effect size index indicates a medium-to-high difference between the two means; the increase of the average maximum aerobic capacity achieved at the end of the training period is statistically significant, p < 0.001 < 0.05 for t = 6.536 and df = 29. The effect size index indicates a significant difference between the two means; the decrease of the average heart rate at the end of the training period is statistically significant, p < 0.001 < 0.05 for t = 5.012 and df = 29. The effect size index indicates a high difference between the two means.

Highlights

Man, as a defining and indispensable entity for the necessary changes in society, is subject to a growing “bombardment” of technology and information, and seeks adaptations and readjustments to the new social conditions
In order to ensure the profile of the new generation, Shuba and Shuba (2017) found that, in recent years, an awareness of the population has emerged for exercise and sports activities, which can bring personal benefits to changing lifestyles, maintaining or increasing the efficiency of work and health
In the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (YYIR1), the mean value of the maximum aerobic speed increased by 0.19 km/h (1.3%), from 14.48 at the initial test to 14.67 km/h at the final test;

Summary

Introduction

As a defining and indispensable entity for the necessary changes in society, is subject to a growing “bombardment” of technology and information, and seeks adaptations and readjustments to the new social conditions. In order to ensure the profile of the new generation, Shuba and Shuba (2017) found that, in recent years, an awareness of the population has emerged for exercise and sports activities, which can bring personal benefits to changing lifestyles, maintaining or increasing the efficiency of work and health. Knowing that contemporary man is subject to many influences that challenge the psyche at very high levels, it is a priority for the specialists in the field to find means to contribute to improving the physical and mental balance of its beneficiaries.
