Abstract :

 The purpose of the study was to find the effect of aerobic dance and pilates training on vital capacity of college women. Forty five students were randomly selected from Kamalam College of Arts & Science College, Anthiyur, Coimbatore and their age ranged between 18 and 25 years. The selected players were divided into three equal groups consists of 15 students each namely experimental group–I experimental group–II and control group. The experimental group–I underwent a aerobic dance programme and experimental group–II underwent pilates training for eight weeks. The control group was not taking any part of training during the course of the study. Vital capacity was assessed by spirometer. Pre–test was taken before the training period and post– test was measured immediately after the eight weeks training period. Analysis of Co–Variance (ANCOVA) technique and the level of significance was set at 0.05.Scheffe’s test was used as a post hoc test to determine which of the paired mean differ significantly. The results revealed that there was a significant difference found on vital capacity.
