Role of Aerobic Training on Physical Fitness and Body Composition of Female College Teachers of Bahawalpur City

Abstract

    This investigation is about the role of an eight-week aerobic training program on the physical fitness and body composition of female college teachers. Sixty participants were divided into an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The selected variables were skinfolds, girths, lengths, breadths, agility, flexibility, 30-meter race, set-up, and skipping rope. All measurements were obtained before starting the aerobic training program and post-test after eight weeks of training. One-way ANOVAs were employed for comparative analysis between the experimental and control groups. Results indicated the experimental group significantly improved in iliac-crest skinfold (p < .02), arm girth (p < .00), thigh girth (p < .05), 30 m run (p < .00), flexibility (p < .00), set-up (p < .00), and skipping rope (p < .00). It is concluded that eight-week aerobic training is suitable female college teachers to improve physical fitness and reduce body fats.
