Effect of aerobic circuit training on muscular endurance among men students

The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of aerobic circuit training on muscular endurance among men students. To achieve the purpose of the study thirty men students were selected as subjects from St. Xavier's College, Palayamkottai. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 18 to 22 years, 162 to 170 centimeters and 56 to 65 kilograms respectively. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups of 15 subjects each. Circuit training group-I and control group-II. The analysis of data revealed that eight weeks of circuit training had a significant improvement on muscular endurance. Many athletes require good muscular endurance for effective performance in their sport. A circuit training session can be developed to meet their specific needs. By keeping rest intervals short a cardiovascular element is developed and by alternating exercises ad muscle groups, more work can be completed for a longer period. Hence it was concluded that due to the effect of eight weeks of circuit training the muscular endurance of the subjects was significantly improved.
