Abstract:
This study attempted to explore the effect of aerobic exercise on selected physiological and
physical variables on Hadiyya Hossana football club trainees SNNPR, Ethiopia. Purposive
sampling technique was used to select 30 football trainees from 45 from them 15 football
trainees were experimental group and 15 football trainees were control group of age 18 to 20
years old. The main objective of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on
selected physiological variables and physical performance changes on trainees. All subjects
under this study took part in experimental design pre and post test with control group from Jan
2019 to April 2019, 3 days per week for 3 month and 60-80 minutes per session. The effect of
aerobic exercises study in physical performance changes were Cardiovascular Endurance,
Muscular Endurance, Muscular Strength and Flexibility and physiological variables were
RHR, Respiratory rate and Vo2 max. The Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 20 paired
samples t-test with pair wise comparison of means at 95% confidence interval by using pre
and post tests. The results indicated that there were significant improvements in physical
performance changes and physiological variables in experimental group, because of effective
participation of aerobic training and the result of p value was less 0.05 but in control group
there were not significant improvements in both physical performance changes and
physiological variables because of less participation of aerobic training and the result of the p
value was greater than 0.05 whereas resting heart rate was significant. This study confirmed
that the effective participation of aerobic exercise training with active rest were significant to
improve the physical and physiological variables of Hadiyya Hossana football club trainees in
experimental group.
