Experimental group was given Circuit training program while Control group was not given any specific training programme. 6 weeks training programme was designed and the subjects were required to attend five days training programme in a week. AAHPER youth fitness test (Revised edition: 1976) was used to collect pre and post test data on selected physical fitness variables.
