For the purpose of the study 30 boys (15 for control group and 15 for experimental group) from Ramkrishna Krida Vidyalaya, Amravati, Maharashtra were selected as subjects, the age of the subjects was ranging from 12 to 15 years. The data were collected before the start of 8 weeks treadmill training programme (pretest) and immediately after completion of 8 weeks treadmill training programme (posttest) by the test of 9 minute run and walk. To determine the treadmill training effect on cardiovascular endurance Independent and Dependent t-test statistical technique were employed. The level of significance was set at 0.05 to check the significant mean. The findings of statistical analysis revealed that there was significant difference between the means of pre and posttest of Experimental group and posttest of Control and Experimental Group.
