Abstract

The motive of the research was to identify the influence of Swissball training ofcardio vascular endurance and abdominal strength of college women, (forty N=40) college from Kannur district were selected randomly as subjects. The subjects are selected from the age group of 18-22 years. The selected subjects were randomlyseparated into two sections as test and control group. Test group underwent Swiss ball training for eight weeks of five days. Control group who were not engaged in any specific activities other than daily routine. The criterion variables asselected ascardiorespiratory endurance and abdominal strength were assessed by using the standardized test. The random group experimental design wasutilized for this investigation. The pre and post test data was collected prior and immediately after the six weeks training period. The data was statistically analyzed with dependent’t t test. In all the cases 0.05 levels will be fixed as level of confidence to test the hypotheses. The aftereffect of the investigation was significant improvement on cardiorespiratory endurance and abdominal strength due to Swiss ball training of college women and there was significant difference between Swiss ball training group and control group on selected criterion variables.

Key words: Swiss ball training, cardiorespiratory endurance and abdominal strength
