Abstract
Tasks of daily life no longer provide sufficient regular vigorous
exercise to develop and maintain adequate levels of physical
fitness. For that reason, in recent years, Jogging has become
popular as away of keeping physically fit.
In this study, a 12 week jogging programme of one hour, three
alternate days a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) was
conducted involving forty two male students of Jigawa State
College of Education Gumel.
V02max, resting heart rate and resting systolic and diastolic blood
pressure were taken at pretraining, after 4 weeks of training, after 8
weeks of training and post training (after 12 weeks of training)
respectively. The Cooper 12 minute run test for used to infer
V02max, the resting heart rate and resting blood pressure were
determined through the use of a sinex digital;
sphygmomanometer. These values were analyzed using the SPSS
package. The statistics used was the one-way repeated measure
ANOVA, at probability level of P <.0005.
The study found significant effect of the training programme on
V02max, resting heart rate, resting systolic blood pressure and
resting diastolic blood pressure.
The changes observed due to the training programme are
evidence of cardio respiratory adaptations.
