Abstract :

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercises on strength and endurance of Biceps achi muscle. A total of 40 non–athletic subjects were evaluated pre–test and post–test for aerobic capacity by Rockport test, muscle strength by strain gauge and endurance by repetition maximum (RM). After pre–test subjects were divided randomly into 2 groups: Group A (experimental n=20) and Group B (control n=20). Subjects in group A underwent aerobic exercise training for 4 weeks (3/week) at 70–85% HRmax for 20 min. Group B did not undergo any intervention. The study revealed that Group A (experimental) had significant improvement in all three parameters. Mean difference in VO2max after 4 weeks were 1.95+/–1.00, strength (1.91+/–1.31) and endurance (3.45+/–3.10) which were highly significant with P
