The effect of 8 weeks of rope training on the indicators of aerobic capacity and body composition of non-athletic elementary school boys in the era of Corona

The present study was conducted with the aim of studying the effect of an 8-week period of rope exercises on the indicators of aerobic capacity and body composition of non-athletic elementary school boys during the Corona era. The research subjects were 28 non-athletic male students who voluntarily cooperated with the researcher. After getting to know how to implement the research project, the students were randomly divided into two groups of 14 people, control and rope training. Before the exercise, height, weight and thickness of subcutaneous fat were measured at 3 points (chest, abdomen and thigh). Then, in one session, a 540-meter test was performed before the start of the training session. After the subjects got familiar with how to do the work, the training program of rope pulling started for 8 weeks. Each week consisted of two 45-minute training sessions, which included 10-minute warm-up, 30-minute main workout, and 5-minute cool-down, and each session was divided into 2 15-minute training sessions with a 1-minute rest period between them, and 3 sets every 15 minutes. 5 minutes divided by 90 seconds of exercise and 30 seconds of rest. For statistical analysis and comparison between groups, independent t-test and intra-group comparisons were used by correlated t-test and analysis of variance with repeated measures. The findings showed that the running time of the 540-meter test in non-athletic students decreased significantly after 8 weeks of training. It was also found that the percentage of body fat and net body mass of the subjects decreased and increased significantly after 8 weeks of training. Therefore, it can be concluded that probably rope training can be used as a suitable alternative to intermittent aerobic running in schools.
