Abstract :

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of six weeks of isk walking on aerobic/ cardiovascular function of sedentary college students. The sample was consisted of thirty (N 30) sedentary college students and their age ranged between 18–25 years of age .the subjects were iefed in details about the study. The criterion measures for the study was aerobic/cardiovascular function and it was measured by 1 mile walk test in nearest of min/sec. The total research period was of 12 weeks out of which six (6 weeks) of isk walking programme was employed. Mean aerobic/cardiovascular function differed statistically significantly between Observation points (F (4, 116) = 53.23, P < 0.000), insignificant difference was found in case first observation and second observation (MD=0.05, p=1.000), whereas significant difference was found in second and third observation (MD=2.53, p=0.000), also in third observation and fourth observation (MD=2.22, p=0.000) and fourth and fifth observation (MD=2.58, p=0.000).
