Methods: For the purpose of this study 40 boys as subjects from V. S. S. D. P. G. College, Kanpur, were selected at random. Their age ranged from 18 to 22 years. All the subjects were randomly assigned to three experimental groups (A, B and C) and one control group (D) each consisting of 10 subjects. The experimental treatments were also assigned to the groups at random. The groups A, B and C were treated as experimental groups and were administered progressive training programme of rope skipping, spot running and step-ups respectively for six weeks. The group 'D' served as control group and continued attending the college but did not participate in any kind of training programme. Modified Harvard Step test was administered at the beginning and after the experimental period of six weeks in terms of pre-test and post-test scores on the criterion measures. To find out the effect of rope skipping, spot-running and step-ups on cardio-vascular endurance of college boys, the analysis of co-variance was used as the statistical treatment. The level of significance was set at 0.05 level. Results: The result of the study revealed there was significant effect of rope skipping, spot running, and step-ups on cardio-vascular endurance of college boys. Conclusions: In the light of the findings, it was concluded that a training of six weeks rope skipping, spot running, and step-ups was sufficient to have a significant difference in cardio vascular endurance of boys. | | Keywords : | | - rope skipping
