EFFECT OF VARIED PACKAGES OF PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR COMPETITIVE PERIOD ON CARDIO RESPIRATORY ENDURANCE OF ADOLESCENT BOYS

For the purpose of this study, eighty adolescent boys studying in the high school and higher secondary schools of Puducherry region were randomly selected as subjects and their range of age group was between fourteen to nineteen years. The total subjects were divided into four groups called as I, II, III and IV and each group consist of twenty students. The groups I, II, and III were treated as experimental groups and the group IV was considered as control group. The pre and post tests on cardio respiratory endurance variable were taken and recorded for all the four groups. All the three experimental groups were trained for six days per week for a period of 14 weeks. The adjusted post test mean differences between experimental group I and experimental group III was 10.01 and it was significant at 0.01 level. The value of 0.10 was obtained as adjusted post test mean difference between experimental group II and experimental group III. The experimental group I packaging I competitive period physical training with required intensity and required volume had significantly improved on cardio respiratory endurance greater than the other two experimental groups.
