THATCHANIT WERASIRIWAT: THE EFFECT OF TRAINING PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT ON ANAEROBIC THRESHOLD IN MALE TENNIS ATHLETES.ADVISOR : ASST. PROF. CHALERM  CHAIWATCHARAPORN,Ed.D, 86  pp.

The purpose of this research was to study the effect of training program development on anaerobic threshold (AnT) by comparing result before and after training in tennis athletes. The subjects were 12  male tennis athletes who had at least 5 years  playing tennis experiences from Burapha University They were sampled by purposive random sampling. All subjects were trained with AnT training program. The AnT training program was interval exercise  training and divided into 2 phases which performed 2 times a week for 3 weeks.The AnT was assessed by gas exchange analysis which based on V-slope method. The AnT showed results as heart rate and oxygen consumption at the AnT. The analyzed in term of means, standard deviation, percentage and t-test was used to determine the significant differences.

                Research results indicated that the heart rate at the AnT was significant difference increased at the .05 level ,  there were increased 16.09 %. The oxygen consumption  at the AnT was significant difference increase  at the .05 level.  there were increased 102.01%. The maximal oxygen at the Ant was significant difference increase at the .05 level, there were increased 69.80 %. 

Conclusion the AnT training program can increase the AnT in male tennis athletes.
