Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of six weeks strength training interventions on speed performance of sprinters. Furthermore, the purpose was to compare the effects of strength training on some anthropometry of sprinters among University sport science students. Methods: To achieve the purpose of the study, six male student athletes were selected as subjects purposively. The study was formulated as experimental (pre and post-test) study design. All Selected subjects participated on proposed exercises training program for six consecutive weeks, with four days per week for a total of thirty two training sessions. The outcome variables were measurement of calf, thigh, chest, biceps and triceps circumference and 100m and 200m speed. The data were analyzed using paired t-test with comparison of means at 95% confidence intervals. Results: The results indicated there were significant improvement on selected variables weight, biceps and triceps muscle circumference and speed of 100m and 200m (p< 0.05). In other variables like calf, thigh, and chest had a change but significant differences were not observed. The mean differences (MD) between pre and post tests for weight were 1.4, biceps triceps 2.5, chest 0.5 thigh 0.833, calf 0.5 and speed of 100m 0.143, 200m 0.6. Conclusion: This study confirmed that strength training has an impact on speed and anthropometry. The study showed that student athletes who were exposed to six weeks strength exercise training have positive outcomes on speed.
The following document provides important information that everybody know about physical exercise as a means of managing COVID-19. It addresses the health benefits of physical exercise on our body’s immune system, and stress reduction. Already today in the entire world, coronavirus is now the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. It kills thousands of peoples per day worldwide and continues its impact on the governments and the society. Nowadays it is the greatest public health problem in most countries in the world. Since its identification on Jan, 7 by the chines scientists named the pathogen as a novel coronavirus.
In the current situation COVID-19 is rapidly spreading worldwide and the number of cases and deaths are rising up speedily. The spread of the virus is a headache to the government in general and the society in particular. The nature of the virus disallowed contacting with one another, working together, meeting, and other activities the majority of government and private business organizations are enforced to discontinue their work.

The danger of the disease and loss of employment leads the majority at stress. A chronically stressed person impairs the organism’s ability to mount a strong immune response with a resultant increase in morbidity and mortality.
