Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of aerobic training on selected coordinative abilities among male students with postural deformities. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty postural deformities of male students at bharathiar university were selected randomly 22 to 25 years of age from various departments of Bharathiar University at Coimbatore. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups namely experimental and control groups of 15 subjects each. The training period was limited to twelve weeks and for three days per week. The aerobic training was selected as independent variables Space Orientation Ability, Complex Reaction Ability, Dynamic Balancing Ability, Kinesthetic Differentiation Upper Extremity and Kinesthetic Differentiation Lower Extremity were selected as dependent variables and it was measured by Numbered Medicine Ball Run Test, Ball Reaction Exercise Test, Long Nose Balance Test, Backward Ball Throw Test and Jump Down Line Test respectively. All the subjects were tested two days before and immediately after the experimental period on the selected dependent variables. The obtained data from the experimental group and control group before and after the experimental period were statistically analyzed with dependent‘t’-test to find out significant improvements. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level confidences for all the cases. Significant improvement was found on Space Orientation Ability, Complex Reaction Ability, Dynamic Balancing Ability, Kinesthetic Differentiation Upper Extremity and Kinesthetic Differentiation Lower Extremity of experimental group due to the effects of aerobic training when compared to the control group.
