Group II acted as control in which they did not undergo any special training programme apart from their regular physical education programme. All the subjects of two groups were tested on selected criterion variable such as strength endurance and cardio respiratory endurance at prior to and immediately after the training programme by using bend knee sit ups and cooper’s 12 min run / walk test respectively. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analysis the significant difference, if any in-between the groups. The level of significant to test the ‘F’ ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance was tested at. 05 level of confidence, which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant difference between altitude training group and control group on selected physical fitness components such as strength endurance and cardio respiratory endurance. Significant improvements on selected criterion variables were also noticed due to altitude training.
