Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of circuit and endurance training
on selected variables of school obese boys. To achieve this study, the investigator has
randomly assigned ninety (N=90) obese school students, age range of the students were
between 16 and18. They were equally divided into three groups such as Endurance
Training (ET), Circuit Training (CT) &Control Group (CG) and recruited subjects have
undergone 12 weeks of ET & CT. Cycling was considered as Endurance Training and Circuit
Training consisted resistance and aerobic training. Control group does not engage any kind
of physical activity during this study. Pre test and post test data’s were collected from
following variables such as Resting Heart Rate (RHR), Body Mass Index (BMI), High Density
Lipoprotein (HDL), and VO2max. T test was administered to find out the significant
differences between pre test and post test. ET group had significant differences on all the
variables and CT group also had significant differences excepted HDL but Control group
does not have any significant level so further ANOVA was used to find out the significant on
each variables among groups. There, each variable had significant level of differences
among groups. It revealed that ET group had significant level of improvement on RHR, HDL
and VO2max compared to CT and CG but BMI level showed significant level of improvement
in ET and CT compare to CG therefore they can consider the endurance training an
appropriate and non medication training package to prevent the cardiovascular disease
and obesity related disease.
