This paper aspires to see the degree to which aerobic training could improve cardiovascular endurance among male pre-university volleyball players. A total of 38 participants from Pre-University College, Bengaluru (Karnataka-India), were randomly separated into 2 (two) groups: viz., Experiment Group-I (AT-VSE, 18 players) received aerobic training with volleyball specific skills practices and the other is Group-II (CG, 18 players), was the control group. The pre test scores were obtained for equally groups utilizing the 800 mtrs. run (minutes) to assess the cardiovascular endurance of the subjects. Group-I involved in aerobic exercises with volleyball specific skills 3 three times (a week for eight weeks) along with their routine, whereas the control group uphold their regular timetable. After the training period, post-test scores for cardiovascular endurance were collected. A paired dependent ‘t’ test and an independent ‘t’ test sample were utilized to find out the significance in the cardiovascular endurance scores at both 0.05 and 0.01 levels of confidence. The consequences, as examined by utilizing SPSS software as well as MS Excel application, revealed that the cardiovascular endurance of the pre-university volleyball players receiving aerobic exercise had a significant improvement. The study definitely shows that combining aerobic training and volleyball-specific activities enhances cardiovascular endurance among male pre-university volleyball players. The result shows the importance of appropriate training techniques for boosting one’s performance as an athlete. Contrastingly, the low levels of improvement in the control group indicate normal activities very limited contribution to resulting in such improvements.
