EFFECT OF CIRCUIT TRAINING ON MUSCULAR ENDURANCE OF SCHOOL BOYS

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of circuit training on muscular endurance of school boys. To achieve the purpose of this study, thirty school boys were selected from cuddalore, Tamilnadu, India. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 12 to 13 years, 140 to 145 centimetres and 30 to 35 kilograms respectively. They were divided into two groups; each group consisted of fifteen subjects. Group-I underwent circuit training and group-II acted as control who does not participate in any training programme. The data collected from the two groups prior to and post experimentation were statistically analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The experimental group had significant improvement on muscular endurance when comparing to the control group.
