Effect of Aerobic Dance Training on Cardio Respiratory Endurance among College level Football Players

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic dance training on cardio respiratory endurance among college level football players. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on cardio respiratory endurance due to the effect of aerobic dance training among college level football players. For the present study the 30 male level football players were selected as subjects at random from, Annamalai University, Tamilnadu, India and their ages ranged from 18 to 25 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 eighteen each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent aerobic dance training and Group ‘B’ underwent no training. Cardio respiratory endurance was assessed by cooper’s 12 minute run test. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA). The level of significance was set at 0.05. The aerobic training had positive impact on cardio respiratory endurance among college level football players.
