| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立體育大學 === 運動保健學系 === 104 === Backward &. Purpose: Kettlebells become popular workout instruments in exercise programs. However, few clinical data were about their efficacy on strength, power, and anthropometric measures. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of kettlebell training on strength, power, and anthropometric measures. Method: Twenty-eight subjects were assigned to an experimental (EXP, n = 18; height:167.8±11.5 cm, body weight:63.44±13.70kg, age: 23.13±5.2 years) for kettlebells training 3 times a week for 10 weeks or a control group (CON; n = 10; height:165.7±10.56 cm, body weight:66.33±11.32kg, age: 22.9±4.47 years).The outcome measures included 1RM of dead lift and chest press, deep squat, maximal vertical jump, RFD, and anthropometric measures (body weight, fat and fat-free mass) before and after a 10–week intervention. Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were to determine pre and post test outcome measures difference between inter and intra-group. Result: EXP improved significantly 1RM of dead lift and chest press, deep squat(p<0.01), RFD(p<0.05), and reduced body weight, and fat mass (p<0.05),CON demonstrated to significantly regress barbell deep squat 1RM (p=.05),and no significant difference in other outcome measures.Inter-groups difference comparison, EXP demonstrated more significant improvement in barbell dead lift 1RM, barbell chest press 1RM, barbell deep squat 1RM, RFD(p<0.05) than CON. Conclusion: This study suggests 10–week kettlebell training could improve power and strength and may be an effective tool to reduce body weight and fat mass.
