Abstract
Ectomorph often below the average weight characteristics by a “thin frame” and difficult to gain muscle mass and fat. According to similar studies to build their muscle mass under it is necessary to include adequate multiple joints and larger muscle groups in bodybuilding program, in this study by using a wheelchairs, when doing a pushed up. The aim of the study was to improve upper-body strength and endurance among 20 healthy ectomorph male students, selected by the intentional method, according to their weight, which did not correspond to their height. They were controlled while performing push-ups, flexed arm-hangs and chin ups. Our goal was to compare the impacts of two training proposed programs (Traditional with weight (CS) v’s wheelchair (ES)). The training programs were applied for 6-weeks with 15-minute warm-ups integrated through their regular PE basketball courses cycle planned in the second semester. Built on statistical apply, we confirmed that wheelchair is a tool that enhances the upper-body muscles of ectomorph-type better than traditional body-weight training. It was approved in the present study through the use of wheelchair push-up, as an excellent means to increase the upper-body muscle-building strength and endurance better than the classic method used by our PE teachers.
