Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of proposed weight training program on muscle strength amongst males aged (18-25) Years, to achieve that, the study conducted on a sample which was consisted of a (40) subjects, and they were equally distributed for two groups experimental group and control group, the experimental group participated in a 5-weeks proposed training program three times per week, while the control groups participated in the regular program. Both groups were pre and post tested in muscle strength tests, and (SPSS) was used to analyze the results.
The results of the study indicated a significant positive effect of the proposed weight training program on muscle strength of chest, arms and legs ,where the percent of change in the test for chest increased to (35.45%), and to test the legs (53.55%), and to test the arms (34.65%). Also, the results showed a significant difference in the post-test between experimental and control groups in favor of experimental group.
Based on the findings of the study the researcher recommended to use the proposed training program for the development of muscle strength.
