All the subjects were informed about the objective and protocol of the study. The Mean and Standard Deviation values of aerobic fitness of pre-test and post-test of experimental group was 29.8667 ± 1.3186 and 29.7750 ± 1.4486 respectively. However, the Mean and Standard Deviation values of aerobic fitness of pre-test and post-test of control group were 29.6500 ± 1.2660 and 29.6250 ± 1.2983 respectively. In experimental group the observed effect size d is small, 0.25 and in control group the observed effect size d is small, 0.12 the data does suggest that the differences between pre-test and post-test of aerobic fitness in experimental and control group are insignificant.
