Abstract:The purpose of the study was to determine the comparative effect of Aerobic dance and folk dances training programmes on Flexibility of high school boys. Randomly selected 120 high school boys were divided into four equal groups as A, B, C and D. After taking the pre-test for Flexibility the training programme was given to experimental groups A, B and C where as the group D was a control group. The experimental group ‘A’ had undergone the training programme in Aerobic dance, group B had undergone the training programme in Kuthiyottam and group C in Kolkkali, thrice a week for 16 weeks. Two middle tests after 5 weeks and 10 weeks and a post test were conducted. To compare the significance of difference among the three experimental groups and the control group the analysis of covariance was employed. The Scheffe’s post hoc test was applied wherever the F-value was found significant, in order to find the significance of difference among the paired adjusted post means. The level of significance chosen was 0.05. It was found that there was significant difference among all the four groups. It was shown that the Kuthyottam group showed better improvement in performance than Aerobic dance, Kolkkali and Control groups. It was also revealed that Aerobic dance group showed better improvement than Kolkkali and control groups.
