The duration of experimental period is 3 months (3 days /week).Walking; jogging and running exercises were performed by the experimental groups whereas the control remain as normal with the sedentary life., The obtained data on triglyceride was analysed statistically by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Scheffe’s post-hoc test was used when the adjusted post test means were found to be significant. In all the cases, 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the significance. The resulting data revealed that 12 weeks of walking, jogging and running exercises were found to be benefitted in modifying the triglycerides levels among middle aged men compared to control.
