The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the effects of twelve weeks systematic aerobic dance practice on cardiovascular fitness among young women. For this purpose ten (n = 10) undergraduate young women students were randomly selected as subjects and their age were ranged between 18 and 22 years. The selected subjects were undergoing a systematic training programme of aerobic dance for twelve weeks duration. Cardiovascular fitness was taken as a criterion variable for the present study and Rockport Walk Test was used as a test battery to measure the cardiovascular fitness. The collected data were analyzed by using dependent‘t’ test and the level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 in all cases. The result of the study shows that aerobic training lead to significant (p ≤ 0.05) progress in cardiovascular fitness among the selected young women.
