The aim of research is to determine the effect of varied weight training programmes on resting heart rate of secondary school athletes. 45 subjects were randomly assigned to three equal groups of 15 subjects and they were secondary school athletes who were studying in Govt. High Schools of Vidyanagara and Bettahalasuru, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Three groups were assigned into Experimental Group-I (WTG) acted as Weight Training Group; Experimental Group-II (WWTG) acted as Without Weight Training Group and Group-III (CG) acted as control group. The Pre test scores were conducted for all the subjects on Resting Heart Rate collected by administering Heart Rate Monitor (Omron) in bpm. Experimental groups like Group-I practiced exercises with weight and Group-II practiced without weight exercises for a period of 12 weeks. The post test mean scores were collected on said criterion variable that is resting heart rate after the treatments. The difference between pre and post mean scores on resting heart rate was considered as the effect of experimental treatments. Analysis of Variance and Analysis of Covariance were used to determine the significance of the mean scores for resting heart rate. Post hoc analysis was made by using LSD test when obtained F value was significant. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level. It was concluded that secondary school athletes who involved in weight training exercises and without weight training exercises were significantly reduced the resting heart rate. The WTG group was reduced more resting heart rate in when compared with WWTG group. The study suggests that include these exercises in school curriculum for better health and wellness and it will help to academic and health perspective.
