The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercises on selected anthropometric variables of adolescent school-going girls. To conduct the study 30 girls, participating in Physical Education activities in their respective schools were selected from different schools in Nadia District of West Bengal as subjects. The age of the subjects was between 13 to 16 years. Among the 30 girls students, 15 were selected for the control group (CG), and the remaining 15 were selected for the Aerobic Exercise Group (EG).
Subjects of EG were treated for 8 weeks and with a frequency of three days (alternative days) per week of Aerobic exercises with music more or less 1.30 hours per day. No treatment was given to the subjects of CG, but they were allowed to participate in their respective physical education activities in the school.
To find out the Anthropometric status of the girls the pre-test data of CG and AEG were taken for Height, Weight, and four skinfold measurements (i.e., Biceps, Triceps, Subscapularis and Supra-iliac), Waist, and Hip circumference. After 8 weeks of treatment, all girls were again tested for post-treatment data. Body Fat Percentage (BFP), Lean Body Weight (LBW), Waist-Hip ratio (WHR) and Body Mass Index (BMI) are used as dependent variables.
In order to find out the significant difference between pre-test and post-test data on selected Anthropometric variables “t” test was conducted at a 0.05 level of confidence which was considered appropriate and adequate for the purpose of this study.
From the statistical analysis, it was revealed that 8 weeks of aerobic exercises significantly changed the anthropometric variables of the adolescent girls. There was no significant impact of the short-term school Physical Education program on the anthropometric variables of the students.
