Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Selected Physical and Physiological Variables among College Athletics

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on selected physical and physiological variables among college athletes. Subjects this studies 30 college male athletes of were randomly selected from Rajarshi Shahu College Pathri, Dist. Aurangabad (Maharashtra), India for the present study. The subjects were randomly assigned in equal two groups (control group (N=15) and experimental group (N=15). The age ranged from 18 to 25 years respectively.

Remaining time allotted for aerobic exercise training programmer. To find out the effect of aerobic exercise on selected physical fitness components data was collected through the administration of 50 meter run for speed and sit and reach for flexibility. On the other hand physiological components data was collected through the administration of breath holding time and resting heart rate. The t-test was used to test the effect of aerobic exercise on selected physical and physiological variables among college athletes. The significance level was determined as p<0.01. The result of the study reveals that there was significant difference between pre-test and post-test of both groups on selected physical and physiological variables among college athletes.
