The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of aerobic exercise on selected physical and physiological variables among college men. To achieve this purpose, 40 students were randomly selected from different colleges in Chennai. The age of the subjects was ranged from 18 to 25 years. The subjects were further classified into two equal groups of 20 subjects each. Group - I underwent aerobic exercises for three days per week for twelve weeks and Group - II acted as control. The criterion variables namely muscular endurance and cardio-respiratory endurance were assessed before and after the training period. The collected data were statistically analyzed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). From the results of the study, it was found that there was a significant difference on muscular endurance and cardio-respiratory endurance among the aerobic exercise group when compared with the control group.
