Abstract:Background: The cardiovascular endurance is the ability of heart, lungs and muscles work together effectively to prolong period. It varies person to person due to exercises and activity. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between cardiovascular endurance and peak expiratory flow rate of University level cricket and volleyball players.
Methodology: The 14 cricket and 12 volleyball male players were included from East Zone Inter-University sports teams of Vidyasagar University, West Bengal. Cardiovascular endurance was measured by 600 yards run and walk test and peak expiratory flow rate was measured by peak flow meter. The pearson correlation of coefficient and independent t-test was applied and level of significant was set at p< 0.05.
Result: The result showed insignificant relationship between cardiovascular endurance and peak expiratory flow rate of University level cricket and volleyball players.
Conclusion: The better cardiovascular endurance and peak expiratory flow rate were found in volleyball players than the cricketers and study also assumed may have significant relationship between cardiovascular endurance and total lungs capacity of the cricket and volleyball players.
