Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of aerobic exercise on improving
health related physical fitness component of Debremarkos administrative town
community fitness center male participants. The Purposive sampling technique was used
to select 25 male community fitness center participants recruited as study subject from
Debremarkos administrative town community fitness center male participants. These 25
male community fitness center subjects were assigned as one quasi experimental design
and their age range were between 22-24 year .All selected subjects participated in low to
moderate intensity aerobic exercise for 12 weeks (3month), 3 days per week and 60
minute duration at 55-70 maximum heart rate (MHR) per day from November 2018-
January 2019.Pre test, during training test and post training test were conducted on
selected variables of health related physical fitness components. The collected data was
analyzed by paired sample t-test (SPSS v.20) to determine the mean differences value and
to make comparison in between pre test and post test mean value results. The level of
significant was 0.05. According to analyzed data in step test was 17.64 beat per minute
(p<0.01) mean difference were observed. The mean difference value boosted in 2.6km
run test performance by 3.1744 minute P<0.001) after 12 week aerobic exercise training.
In sit and reach test 7.280 cm (p<0.01) increment were observed respectively. But in
body mass index 2.04000kg/m2 (p<0.01) decrement were observed throughout the study period. The result obtained in this study indicated that there were significant
improvement in cardio vascular endurance, flexibility and there were reduction on body
composition .Based on this finding, it can be concluded that 12 week low to moderate
aerobic exercise have positive effect on improvement of HRPF components of community
fitness male participants.
