Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of aerobic exercises on selected physical fitness variables among women kho kho players. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on selected physical fitness variables due to the effect of aerobic exercises among women kho kho players. For the present study the 30 kho kho players from Sri Sarada College of Physical Education for Women, Salem, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 21 years. For the present study pre test – post test random group design which consists of control group and experimental group was used. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each and named as Group ‘I’ and Group ‘II’. Group ‘I’ underwent aerobic exercises and Group ‘II’ has not undergone any training. Explosive power was assessed by standing broad jump and endurance was assessed by 1 mile run. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying paired ‘t’ test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. It was observed that there was significant improvement in the explosive strength of the experimental group owing to aerobic exercises.
