CHAPTER ONE:

INTRODUCTION

1.0Background of the Study

Circuit resistance training (CRT) is a great type of training routine that offers a number of benefits, especially for those who have a limited time for workout. Circuit resistance training is the practice of doing exercises with resistance and moving simultaneously from one station to the next with no real break in between exercise. It can be designed to increase muscular strength and power, muscular endurance, flexibility and to a limited extent, cardio-respiratory endurance. However, the physiological effects depend to a large extent on the type of circuit that is set up. For example, a circuit consisting only of weight-resistance exercises produce substantial gains in strength but only minimal gains in cardio-respiratory endurance (Gettman, Ayres, Pollock, and Jackson, 1978; Wilmore,Parr, Girandola, Ward, Vodak, Barstow, Pipes, Romero, and Laslie, 1978).
