Effect of land aerobic training on selected physical variable among college students.

Aerobic exercise is a physical activity of low to high intensity that depends mainly on the aerobic energy-generating process. Aerobic means "relating to, or requiring free oxygen", and it refers to the use of oxygen to meet energy demands during exercise via aerobic metabolism. For the present study a total of thirty college men (N=30) was selected from Kannur University Kerala. The age of the subjects ranged from 18 to 24 years. The subjects were equally divided (n=15) into an experimental group (land aerobic) and control group. There was significant difference between the pre and post test scores on experimental group's flexibility. The calculated ‘t’ value 2.39 is greater than tabulated ‘t’ value of 2.145 at 0.05 level of significance with 14 degree of freedom. In the case of control group there was no significant difference found in flexibility. Based on the result twelve weeks of land aerobics training had improved all the flexibility for college students. Based on the findings of the study the hypothesis stated that there will be a significant effect of land aerobic training on flexibility was accepted.
