Abstract :

The present study was to investigate the effect of aqua aerobic exercises and aerobic exercises responses on vo2 max parameter among college men students. To achieve this purpose of the study sixty (N=60) college men students were selected from St.John’s arts and science College, Palayamkottai, Tamil Nadu state, India, during the year 2016–17. The subject’s age ranges from 17 to 25 years. The selected subject were divided into three equal groups consists of fifteen subject each namely two experimental groups and control group from college students. The experimental group I underwent aqua aerobic exercise group (AAEG) and experimental group II underwent aerobic exercise group (AEG) programme for six weeks. The control group was not taking part in any exercise during the course of the study. The dependent variable vo2 max parameter selected for the study, it was measured by cooper vo2 max test formula unit of ml/min/kg .Pre–test was taken before the exercise period and post– test was measured immediately after the six weeks exercise period. The data collected from the three groups were statistically analyzed for significance, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used and the F ratio was found out. The Scheffe’s test is applied as post–hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. The level of significance will be fixed at .05 level of confidence for all the cases. These results suggest that both aqua aerobic exercises group and aerobic exercise group improve vo2 max level.
