Assistant Professor,
The objective of the present study to know the effects of aerobic training and jump rope training on cardio respiratory endurance of overweight children.
Thirty overweight children between 11 to 15 years were selected as subjects at random. The selected subjects were from different classes who studied at different schools in and around at Karaikudi. They were assigned to experimental group-1, experimental group-2 and control group. The experimental group-1 and experimental group-2 received aerobic training (n=10, AT) and jump rope training (n=10, JRT) respectively for six weeks, five days a week. Cardio respiratory endurance measured by the Cooper's 9 minutes run/walk test, scores recorded in meters.
After 6 weeks, the aerobic training and jump rope training groups demonstrated significant improvement by 0.8% and 0.6% respectively rather than the control group.
The efficiency of cardio respiratory endurance greater improved in aerobic training than the jump rope training.
