Abstract

The present study was to determine the influence of aerobic training on muscular endurance of college male hostel students. Twenty male students (n=20) were randomly selected as subjects and the age were ranged between 18 and 24 years. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups such as training group (TG) and the control group (CG) for the strengths of ten (n=10) each. Experimental training group underwent respective aerobic training programme for twelve weeks for three days per week and a session on each day. The control group did not involve in any special training apart from their regular activities. Muscular endurance was taken as criterion variable for the present and it was measured by sit ups. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyse the collected data. The results revealed that that the aerobic training made significant improvement (p≤0.05) in muscular endurance of the selected subjects. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 in all cases.
