ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of resistance, aerobic and concurrent training on muscular endurance of untrained students. Sixty college men students from the Department of Arts and Sciences were selected as subjects. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 18 to 23 years, 162 to 175 centimeters and 56 to 70 kg respectively. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into four equal groups of 15 subjects each. Group I underwent resistance training, group II underwent aerobic training, group III underwent concurrent training and group IV acted as control. Prior to and after the training the subjects were tested on muscular endurance using standard test and procedure. Analysis of covariance was used to determine the significantly difference existing between pre test and post test on muscular endurance. The result of the study proved that the effect of resistance, aerobic and concurrent training significantly improved muscular endurance of the untrained men students.
