 Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of medium velocity resistance training on speed among urban youth girls. To achieve this purpose, thirty (n=30) youth urban girls were selected as subjects at random. The age of the youth girls were ranged between 15 and 19 years. The selected subjects were further divided into two equal groups of medium velocity resistance training group and the control group of fifteen (n=15) each in strength. The training group was treated with systematic medium resistance training for twelve weeks with three sessions in a week. The speed was taken as a criterion variable for this study and 50 Meter; dash test was used as a test item. The data were collected before and immediately after the training programme. The collected data were analyzed statistically by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 in all aspects. The results of the study show that the medium velocity resistance training group had a significant improvement (p ? 0.05) in speed as compared with the control group of selected urban youth girls.

 Abstract

This study was aimed at analysis of potential bioactive constituents of leaves of Samanea Saman(Jacq) Merr. Methanol extracts of the leaves were subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC), UV, IR and Gas chromatography- mass spectroscopic (GCMS) analysis. Total two compounds were isolated by preparative TLC using chloroform: ethyl acetate: methanol (5: 3: 2) as mobile phase. These compounds were found to be tannins and polyphenol by spraying with ferric chloride solution (5%) as spraying reagent. Spectroscopic data of UV, FTIR and GC-MS also confirmed that the functional groups found were matched with the tannins moiety. Analytical studies showed the presences of phenolic and tannins in Samanea saman methanolic extract (SSME).
