Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the influences of aerobic training and aquatic training on self-efficacy of working women. To achieve the purpose of the present study, eighty working women from Tiruchirappalli district, Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 30 to 40 years. The subjects were divided into four equal groups of twenty each. This initial test scores formed as pre test scores of the subjects. Experimental Group I was exposed to aerobic training, Experimental Group II was exposed to aquatic training, Experimental Group III was exposed to combined training and Control Group was not exposed to any experimental training other than their regular daily activities. The duration of experimental period was 12 weeks. The pre test and post test scores were subjected to statistical analysis using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the significance among the mean differences, whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted test was found to be significant; Scheffe’s post hoc test was used. In all cases 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test hypotheses. The combined training had shown significant improvement on self-efficacy among working women than the other experimental and control groups.
