Since F-statistics are significant for the growth related variables i.e., height, weight and calf girth thus the null hypothesis of no difference among the adjusted post-mean for the data on height and weight in two treatment group may be rejected at 5% level.F statistics are also significant for the physical fitness variables i.e., for speed, strength, and endurance thus the null hypothesis of no difference among the adjusted post-mean for the data on speed, strength, endurance and also in academic achievements in two treatment groups may be rejected at 5 % level.
