Consequence of Orange Theory Fitness Training on Selected Health Related Physical Fitness Variables among Obese

Abstract The main task of the study was to find out Consequence of orange theory fitness training on Selected Health Related Physical Fitness Variables among Obese. To achieve the task of the study Forty class-I obese school boys were selected from various schools in Tuticorin were selected as subjects and their age ranged from 12-15 years only. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups namely experimental group (20) and control group (20). The experimental group participated in orange theory fitness training. Pre and post-test method were followed. The experimental training was adopted for eight weeks on three days a week and control group was not exposed to experimental treatment. The selected variables namely flexibility, cardio respiratory endurance and muscular endurance. The above selected variables were tested through Flexibility (sit and reach in centimetre), Cardio Vascular Endurance (1.6 mile run in five minutes), and Muscular Endurance (bent knee sit-ups). The collected data were statistically analyses using dependent 't' test. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 for all cases. The result of the study showed that there was a significant improvement in flexibility, cardio respiratory endurance and muscular endurance among class -I obese school boys due to orange theory fitness training.
