The purpose of study was to find out the effects of two approaches of throw ball practice combined with neuromuscular drills on cardio respiratory endurance of school girls. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty school girls in the age group of 12 to 14 were selected as subjects, from Shanthi Niketan, Higher Secondary School, Shanthipuram, Ambilikai, Dindigul District, Tamilnadu. The chosen thirty subjects were divided into three groups. The experimental group-1(n=10, TBGP) underwent throw ball game practice, the experimental group-2 (n=10, TBGP-NMD) underwent throw ball game practice combined with neuromuscular drills and group-3 served as control group (n=10, CG) did not undergo any specific training. The cardio respiratory endurance was chosen as criterion variable and it was tested by cooper’s 9 minutes run/walk test, the covered distance recorded in meters. The training period was delimited to six weeks for five days. The performance of cardio respiratory endurance was collected before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of one way analysis of co-variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups on the chosen variable. The Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups .To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed in this study.
