Effect of Aerobic Training on Selected Physical Variables of Deaf and Dumb Children

In order to assess the real facts the investigator made an attempt to examine the impact of aerobic training on physical fitness variables of 30 deaf and dumb children were selected from Coimbatore district. Their aged of the subject ranged from 18 to 30 years. Selected subjects was randomly assigned to two equal groups (n=15), group I underwent aerobic training (ATG) and group II acted as control group (CG). The aerobic training was given to the experimental group for 3days per week for the period of 8 weeks. The control group did not practice in any training except their routine work. The following variables were measured with standard test items: agility, flexibility. Pre and post test was conducted on separate days with warm up. The agility measured by 4×10 meter shuttle run in seconds, flexibility measured by sit and reach test. To find out the individual effect ‘t’ test was applied at 0.05 level of significant. Further, the findings confirmed the aerobic training is suitable protocol to bring out the desirable changes over the agility, flexibility of deaf and dumb children.
