The Effect Of Aerobic Exersices On Selected Physical And Physiological Variables-The Case Of Ambo University Third Year Sport Science Female Students.

Abstract

Effect of aerobics exercise mainly effect in health related components of fitness. The physical development refers to the growth of the physical body such as bone, muscle, organs. Physiological development on the other hand refers to the body capacity to increase certain function of the body. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of aerobics exercise selected on physical and physiological variables in case of Ambo University third year sport science female students. The study applied a quantitative research approach and quasi-experimental design to attain the intended objectives. For this study the research has selected all eight female participated in Ambo University sport science students as a sample by using comprehensive sampling method. The study was carried out for two consecutive months of aerobics exercise that was given three days per week for about eight week each minimum 40 minutes for the training regular program. The physical and physiological variables: cardiorespiratory, body composition, resting heart rate and blood glucose level were tested in the study. For the analysis software (SPSS version 23) was utilized. The gathered data was analyzed using paired samples T test, mean and standard deviation. The significant level of P value <0.05 was considered. As result from the study selected aerobic exercise was significantly improved the physical and physiological variables of ambo university third year sport science female student on cardiorespiratory endurance p-value=.002, body composition p-value=.002, resting heart rate p-value=.000 So as the study result revealed selected aerobic exercise has a significant effect on physical and physiological variable of ambo university third year sport science female student. Therefore, the researcher recommended that the female students participate in aerobic exercise.
