ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of submaximal and maximal aerobic training on selected pulmonary variable among under 14 years cricketer. Forty five under 14 years cricketer were selected randomly as subjects from YMCA, Cricket Academy at Chennai city, Tamil Nadu, India. The subjects were divided in to three groups of fifteen each named as submaximal aerobic training group, maximal aerobic training group and control group. The training program is scheduled at 6.30 am to 7.30 am on alternate days. The VO2 max was selected as criterion variables and tested by Queens’s college step test. The subjects were tested prior to and after the twelve weeks of experimentation. The obtained data from the experimental and control group were statistically analyzed with analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Scheffe’s post hoc test applied to examine the paired mean difference between groups if, the obtained ‘f’ value found significant on the selected criterion variable. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05. The result shows that the experimental groups had achieved significant improvement on VO2 max when compared to control group
