Methods: Thirty men elite athletes were taken for this study, aged between 20 and 25 years. They were further divided into two groups. Group I (n=15) 90% aerobic and 10% anaerobic proportion (10,000 mtr race), Group II (n=15) 10% aerobic and 90% anaerobic proportion (200mtr race). (Edward L. Fox, 1989) ^[5] For both the groups cardiovascular parameters HR and SV were measured by using Electro cardiograph (ECG) and M-mode Doppler echocardiograph respectively. All subjects were elite athletes. Subjects underwent their respective training regimen under the supervision of their regular coaches.

Result: The HR at rest mean values of 90% aerobic and 10% anaerobic and 10% aerobic and 90% anaerobic group 46.00 and 56.07 beats/min (p=0.05) respectively. SV at rest mean values of both groups 102.08 and 82.63 ml/beat (p=0.05) respectively. The values obtained were analyzed with data obtained from athletes by SPSS. The result indicates that 90% aerobic and 10% anaerobic group has significantly decreased HR and increased SV as compared to 10% aerobic and 90% anaerobic group.

Conclusion: It is concluded that 90% aerobic and 10% anaerobic training is better training protocol to decrease the heart rate and increase stroke volume among athletes for better physiological efficacy.
