Abstract:
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 week aerobic exercise on
selected health related physical fitness components. The study design was quasi Experimental
method. Random sampling technique were used to select subjects as well as to assign subjects
for control group (CG) and experimental group (EG) while purposive sampling were used to
select the sample sex and the study place, 60 male sample was taken from a population of 71
male students by Slovin’s formula, the selected subjects were divided into 2 equal groups (n=30)
CG and (n=30) EG. Their age range was from 18-22 years. EG who performed in 3 days/week
for 3-month aerobic exercise training program like as walking, jogging, running, aerobic dance
and rope jumping, and a CG did not perform this selected aerobic training unless both groups
undergone normal physical education class program. Both groups had taken pre and post testing. PT of two groups of 30 subjects (ME was measured by 900
angle push up test, and
flexibility was measured by using sit and reach test) were recorded. After three months, posttest
measurement on the same parameters was taken. The difference between the tests were analyzed
statistically, with paired sample “t” test at the level of significance was P<0.05 to determine the
difference between initial and final mean for participant. According to analyzed data the mean
difference value after 12 week’s aerobic exercise the experimental group boosted in 900
angle
pushup performance by 1.76, (at p value is 0.00) and in sit and reach test 0.53 (at p value is
0.00) increments were observed throughout the study period. The result obtained in this study
indicated that there were significant improvement in ME and flexibility on Experimental Group.
Based on this finding, it can be concluded that moderate aerobic exercise has positive
effect on improvement of 900
angle pushup and flexibility on male grade 12th students.
