THE EFFECT OF INTERVAL TRANING ON CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE OF RAMKHAMHAENG UNIVERSITY DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL (ELEMENTARY LEVEL) BADMINTON ATHLETES

Abstract

This research were to study and compare the Interval training to the cardiorespiratory endurance and blood circulation of Satit Ramkhamhaeng Demonstration School Elementary Department’s Badminton athletes. The sample consists of 30 Badminton athletes. The sample group was divided on 3 sub-groups each consisting of 10 participants: interval training group, Intermediate-interval training, and the control group. The instrument was 4 types: 1. Short-interval training 2. Intermediate-interval training 3. Multistage Fitness Test: Beep Test 4. Repeated-Shuttle Sprint Ability: RSSA. The study revealed that: Firstly, for the Beep Test and RSSA, all 3 sub-groups were better at training than before at significant of .05 level. Secondly, the comparison between different lengths of interval tests showed different effects on cardiorespiratory endurance and blood circulation. Short-interval and Intermediate-interval significantly affects the RSSA endurance measured by RSSA best value and RSSA mean after four weeks of training at .05 level. Thirdly, interaction between training programs and training duration together greatly affects endurance for both Beep test and RSSA between three sample groups at .05 level.
