Muscular fitness in physical education through Manual Resistance Training by Sandor Dorgo, Ph.D., CSCS University of Texas at El Paso Session Sponsored by NASPE Problem Obese and unfit children have low strength to body-weight ratio and
Problem
Obese and unfit children have low strength
to body-weight ratio and low level of cardio fitness
In PE class obese and unfit children:
experience difficulty performing activities fatigue rapidly
PE often further discourages them from
engaging in physical activity (15)
Benefits of youth resistance training
Various physiological benefits
muscle function, cardiovascular fitness, body
composition, bones, posture, insulin sensitivity, type 2 diabetes, blood lipid profiles, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure (2,3,8,9,10,14,15,16,18,19)
Improved performance, reduced injury risk, better
self-esteem (2,3,10)
Enjoyment and enhanced positive attitude towards
exercising through large strength gains in short- term (5,8,9,10,13,15,16,18)
Resistance training in PE
Due to equipment and budget requirements,
Weight Resistance Training is often excluded from PE (17)
Manual Resistance Training (MRT) is an
applicable alternative (17)
Requires minimal portable and inexpensive
equipment (PVC pipes, straps, chains, step- boxes, chairs, tables, mats)
Resistance is provided by one or more
partners (1)
Manual Resistance Training
Isokinetic type of contraction → maximal
contraction elicited for full ROM (1)
Almost all weight training exercises can be
simulated with MRT exercises
MRT requires minimal set-up Provides high-intensity training in short time Adjustable training stimuli components
exercise selection and order, number of
exercises, sets, repetitions, rest intervals, and resistance
Pilot Study #1
Purpose
To investigate the effects of WRT and MRT programs on
muscular strength, muscular endurance, and body composition
Methods
Participants: 84 college students (46 male, 38 female) in
two groups (WRT vs. MRT)
Pre- and post-test measurements:
1 RM bench press and squat Bench press/squat muscle endurance (70% of 1RM) Body composition by underwater weighing
Training program
14 weeks, 3 sessions/week, 1 hour/session Identical exercises, tri-set format, hypertrophy zone
Results of Pilot Study #1
Males and females in both WRT and MRT
groups showed significant increase in
1 RM bench press and 1 RM squat Bench press and squat muscle endurance
MRT participants showed significant changes
that were comparable to WRT participants in muscular strength and endurance tests
Females in MRT group showed significant
changes in body composition

Pilot Study #2
Purpose
To document the physical and physiological changes in
adolescents through the application of WRT and MRT programs in physical education settings
Methods
Participants: 342 high school students in four groups
(WRT group, MRT group, MRT+cardio group, control PE)
Pre-, midterm-, and post-test measurements:
BMI calculations, skinfold measurements Fitnessgramm: one mile run, push-ups, curl-ups, flexed arm
hang, trunk lift, modified pull-ups
Training program
18 weeks, 3 sessions/week, 1:20 hour/session Identical exercises, tri-set format, hypertrophy zone
Results of Pilot Study #2
Preliminary Pre vs. Midterm-test Results
No groups showed significant changes in BMI Only the MRT-Cardio group improved significantly
the mile run
All groups significantly improved curl-up
performance
All experimental groups significantly improved trunk
lift performance
Both MRT groups significantly improved push-up
performance
MRT group significantly improved flexed arm hang
and pull-up performance

Conclusion
MRT is a viable alternative to traditional
resistance training
MRT effectively improves muscular fitness,
and to some extent cardiovascular fitness and body composition
MRT is appropriate for application in school-
based physical education
MRT is an applicable form of exercise to
improve children’s fitness and to prevent childhood obesity
