Cloistered and coalesce upshot of yogic practices and Orangetheory fitness training on speed performance among jet set swimmers

Speed and acceleration are crucial components of most sports. There are various ways to train for these, both in and out of the weight room. Outside the weight room, resisted and assisted methods are used in training programmes to enhance performance. This study was undertaken to determine whether yogic practices, Orangetheory Fitness training, and coalesce of yogic practices and Orangetheory Fitness training could be effective methods for improving speed, specifically the 50m run. Sixty male swimmers from various swimming academies in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala (mean ± SD: age 18 ± 4.2 years, height 153 ± 14 cm, weight 56 ± 14 kg) were randomly divided into four groups: yogic practices, Orangetheory Fitness training, coalesce of yogic practices & Orangetheory Fitness training, and a control group. All swimmers trained five days per week for eight weeks. A 50m sprint was performed before and after the training period. The speed performance of the experimental groups significantly increased (p < 0.05), while no significant changes were observed in the control group. The combination of yogic practice and Orangetheory Fitness training proved to be more efficient than the yogic practices and Orangetheory fitness training program
