The main objective was to examine reaction time in these participants by measuring simple reaction time (Yardstick reaction time scale) and cardio respiratory endurance (12 min. run/walk test). Fifteen sedentary participants from Pondicherry University students were selected for this study. Eight weeks of silambam training program were conducted to the subject, weekly five days from monday to friday on every evening 6.00 pm to 7.00 pm. The training group were measured the pretest and posttest on reaction time and cardio respiratory endurance. Results indicated that there was significant improvement in reaction time (p > 0.05) after eight weeks of silambam training. And also found that silambam training group had shown an insignificant change on cardiorespiratory endurance when compare with pre-test and post-test. Furthermore, the silambam participants have faster reaction time to hand stimuli. These results are consistent with the physical aspects of the silambam arts. | | Keywords : | | - cardiorespiratory endurance
