ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of six week (42 days) Aerobic training on physical fitness components of high school students. The data collected qualitatively on three different test of strength, agility, and speed of control groups (N=20), and experimental groups (N=20) were analyzed by using the “t” test and post-test means of both groups to find out the significant difference among the selected variables as strength, Agility and speed of two groups of students of Anantnag city and the subjects were selected by using Random sampling method. To test the hypothesis the level of significance was set at 0.05 which was considered adequate and reliable for the purpose of this study. Tests used for measurement were vertical jump for leg strength, chin-ups for arm and shoulder strength and 50 yard shuttle run for agility. The calculated t value for vertical jump (leg strength t=14.09), chin-ups (arm strength t=7.90) and shuttle run (agility t=4.2) were greater than the tabulated t value =2.02. This showed that aerobic training had significantly increased the physical fitness of high school students of experiment group than controlled group.
