Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of aerobic dance, aquarobics and combined training on selected bio-motor variables of engineering college students. To achieve the purpose of the present study, forty five engineering college students from Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 18 to 25 years. The subjects were divided into three equal groups of fifteen each. Group I acted as Experimental Group I (Aerobic dance training), Group II acted as Experimental Group II (Aquarobics training) Group III acted as Experimental Group II (Combined training). The study was formulated as a true random group design, consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The duration of experimental period was 12 weeks. After the experimental treatment, all the forty five subjects were tested on their selected variables. This final test scores formed as post test scores of the subjects. 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 significance was fixed to test hypotheses. The combined training had shown significant improvement in all the selected biomotor variables of engineering college students than the aerobic dance and aquarobics training group.
