Abstract:
Aerobic exercise is an activity in which every human being engages to one degree or another, during the course of his or her life. It is the at most importance to know the physiological mechanisms that sustain and act as the basis of everyone response to exercise. So, this was an attempt to investigate the Effect of Aerobic Exercises on Physical Efficiency Index among the Adolescents. Sixty male students were selected randomly from U.G. level of Vivekananda Mission Mahavidyalaya and divided equally in two groups and designed as Experimental group of thirty students and Control group of thirty students. The Experimental group underwent different aerobic exercises for eight weeks by maintaining a schedule. There was no any training programme for Control group. Physical Efficiency Index was measured by Harvard Step Test. In results, it was found that there was significant difference between pre-test and post-test in experimental group but no significant difference in control group. So, it was evident that aerobic exercises impact significantly on physical efficiency index among the adolescents.
