Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to analyze the aerobic endurance of Tennis players. To achieve the purpose of the study, five hundred men Tennis players who have participated in the district level tennis matches from Tamilnadu, India, during the year 2012–2013, were selected as subjects for this study at random. Subjects were divided into four groups (each group consists of one hundred and twenty five) on the basis of their age. Aerobic Endurance was selected as criterion variable. All the subjects were tested on the selected variables. The collected data were statistically analyzed for significance using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Whenever the ‘F’ ratio found to be significant, the Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out the significant difference if any, among the paired means. In all the cases .05 level of significance was used to test the hypothesis. There was a significant difference on Aerobic Endurance among different age groups of Tennis players (16–20 years, 21–25 years, 26–30 years and 31–36 years). The age group 31–36 year tennis players is better in Aerobic Endurance than other age groups of 16–20 years, 21–25 years and 26–30 years.
