- The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of concurrent strength and aerobic endurance training on selected physical variables among college men. The study was formulated as a pre and post test random group design, in which forty five men students were randomly assigned into three equal groups and each group consisting of 15 subjects. Group I acted as aerobic endurance training group (AETG, n = 15), Group II acted as concurrent strength and aerobic endurance training group (CSAETG, n = 15) and Group III acted as control group (CG, n = 15). Pre – test was conducted. After assessing the pre – test performance on criterion variables, the subjects were treated with their respective training programme for twelve weeks. After twelve weeks of their training programme, again the subjects were tested (Post-test) on selected criterion variables as such in the pre – test. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was computed because the subjects were selected random, but the groups were not equated in relation to the factors to be examined. Hence the difference between means of the three groups in the pre-test had to be taken into account during the analysis of the post-test differences between the means. This was achieved by the application of the analysis of covariance, where the final means were adjusted for differences in the initial means, and the adjusted means were tested for significance. Whenever the adjusted post-test means were found significant, the Scheffe’s post-hoc test was administer to find out the paired means difference. To test the obtained results on variables, level of significance 0.05 was chosen and considered as sufficient for the study. The concurrent strength and aerobic endurance training improved better than aerobic endurance training and control groups on selected physical variables among college men.
