| Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12-week resistance training programme on the blood glucose level of the youth. The subjects of the study were certified sixty (60) healthy students of College of Education, Ikere Ekiti, who were assigned randomly to experimental and control groups. Only the experimental group was exposed to the 12-week resistive training programme. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested to determine the significant effects of the training regime on the parameters identified. Data gathered were analyzed using descriptive statistics of mean, range and standard deviation while ANCOVA using the pre-test as covariate was employed to determine the significance (F<0.05) of the effects resulting from the 12-week resistance training programme. A post-hoc analysis using Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA) was also applied on significant parameters to determine the magnitude of the effects. The results obtained showed a significant effects (F<0.05) of the training regime on the blood glucose parameters' and the hypothesis was thereby rejected. It was concluded based on the findings that resistive training regime has the capacity to bring about a significant reduction in the blood glucose level and a significant increase in the bicarbonate level of the youth. |
