Description :
The purpose of the study has to find out the effect of exercise bike training programme on the
cardio
-
vascular endurance of college boys. The present study was the descriptive survey method. Total
number of 20 boys st
udents of degree boys college Anatnag (J&K) was selected as the sample for the
study in the session 2015
-
2016 and they engaged in the exercise bike training programs conducted three
times per week for duration of three month during the same session 2015

16. It was hypothesized that
there will be significant changes in the cardio
-
vascular endurance of college boys if they practice exercise
bike training. A total 20 subjects was divided into two groups one group was the experimental group and
the other cont
rol group. All the subjects were fit and clinically healthy. The investigation was carried out
in three phase, the first test was pre test phase, to measure the cardio
-
vascular endurance. The Harvard
step test was administered to the subjects and fitness i
ndex was calculated. In the second phase,
experimental treatment was given three months, one session of an exercise bike training programme was
conducted daily three times a week excluding Saturday and Sunday. One session of an exercise bike
training progr
amme constituted of 45 minutes per subject. The first 15 minutes of the session.Was given
for warming up exercises like running and jogging and the next 30 minutes exercise bike training
program was given to the subjects. The final fifteen minutes was give
n to the subjects for cooling down. In
the final phase post
-
test measurement were taken, all the subjects of the group were evaluated for cardio
-
vascular endurance. Mean, standard deviation were the tools of statistical analysis. Comparative analysis
was d
one by finding out the „t‟ ratio. The level of significance was kept at 0.05 level. The initial and final
mean value of cardio
-
vascular endurance was measured with the help of Harvard step test of control
group and experimental group of pre and post test a
re (77.51,78.45) and experimental group (76.50,69.35
respectively. Experimental group was found statistically significant. Thus, it can be concluded that there
was an effect of exercise bike training program on cardiovascular endurance.
