ABSTRACT:
This study was designed to investigate the impact of aerobic dance training on selected physiological parameters on school girls. To achieve the purpose of the study 30 school girls, Coimbatore. The subjects was randomly assigned to two equal groups (n=15).Group- I underwent aerobic experimental group (CTG) and Group - II was acted as control group (CG). The training was given to the experimental group for 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) for the period of six weeks. The control group was not be given any sort of training except their routine work. The physiological parameters were vo2max (Queens College step test), breath holding timing (Lung function test) and vital capacity (Spirometer). The data collected from the subjects was statistically analyzed with‘t’ ratio to find out significant improvement if any at 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the vo2max, breath holding timing, vital capacity improved significantly due to impact of aerobic dance training with the limitations of (diet, climate, life style) status and previous training the result of the present study coincide findings of the investigation done by different experts in the field of sports sciences. Aerobic dance training significantly improved cardio-respiratory fitness, lung capacity, and lung function ability of school girls.
