Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to find out the impact of sand aerobics and floor aerobics on endurance and muscular strength on college level hockey players. The subjects selected for this study were in the age group of 18 – 25 years. The subjects were divided into three groups. Each group consisting of twenty each, namely, experimental group I, experimental group II and control group. The selected subjects were randomly divided into groups equally of which experimental Group – I underwent sand aerobic, group – II underwent floor aerobics and group – III acted as Control Group. The following fitness variables were selected as dependent variables endurance and muscular Strength and the following variables were selected as independent variables sand aerobics and floor aerobics. The data collected on selected criterion variables were subjected to statistical analyse using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the significant difference if any between the groups on selected variables separately. The results presented in sand aerobics training would have significantly greater influence on the selected fitness variables, namely, endurance and muscular strength than the floor aerobics among college men hockey players.
