Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of aerobics on developing gross motor skill (GMS) among middle School girls (MSG). For this purpose, fifty girls were selected from Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, India. The participants’ age ranged between 10 to 12 years. The selected participants were divided into two groups of n=25 participants each namely Aerobic training group (ATG) and control group (CG). Group I underwent AT for 6 weeks for 3 days (alternate) per week. The selected GMS variables are horizontal jumping and Hopping. The selected outcome variables were assessed by using the standardized test manual for Test for Gross Motor Development Edition 2 (TGMD – 2). The collected data on the selected variables were treated with paired sample “t” test and Univariate Analysis of Covariance at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the study indicate that there was significant improvement on GMS because of 6 weeks AT and there was a significant difference between intervention and control group on GMS.
