Abstract :

Purpose of this study was to find out and compare the comparative effect of three types aerobic training on selected anthropometrical variables of tribal boys. To achieve the purpose of the study 120 school male students were randomly selected as subjects with an average age of 14.9 years. Subjects were divided into four group namely Continuous Training Group, Fartlek Training Group, Interval Training Group and Control Group. Experimental groups underwent their respective trainings for 12 weeks and control group did not participate in any of the training programme other than their regular activities. Anthropometrical variable- upper arm circumference, Hip circumference and Calf circumference were selected for this study. The data were collected before and after the training. The obtained data’s were analyzed by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The level of significant was fixed at 0.05 levels of confidence. The result of the study showed that there was as significantly improvement found in upper arm, Hip and Calf circumference among the experimental groups when compared with control group.
