Abstract :
Purpose: To determine whether the varied intensity aerobic training differently affecton VO2max of college women students.Methods:The subjects for the study were selected from Idhayacollege of arts and science for women, Puducherry. The subjects were selected randomly and their age ranged between 17 to 21 years. They were divided into three different groups namely group I as moderate intensity (55% to 70% HRR), group II as high intensity (70% to 85% HRR), group III as control group. Intensity during exercise was controlled by having the subjects maintain target HR based on HR reserve. Exercise volume (and thus energy expenditure) was controlled across the two training groups by varying duration.Results:VO2max significantly increased in all exercising groups. Conclusion:When volume of exercise is controlled, lower intensities of exercise are more effective for improving VO2max than higher intensities of exercise among healthy, young adults.
