EFFECT OF SWIMMING ON CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE
OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to find out the effect of swimming on
cardiovascular endurance of secondary school students. The study
has been conducted on 40 male swimmers, were selected randomly
from Amravati city. The age of the subjects ranging from 15-20
years, subjects were divided randomly equally into two groups i.e.
experimental group and control group. The data were collected
from the experimental and control group before and after the 6
weeks of training programme were statistically analysed at 0.05
level of significance.
Keywords:Cardiovascular endurance, swimming.
INTRODUCTION
The primary aims of physical education
vary historically, based on the needs of the time
and place. Often, many different types of
physical education occur simultaneously, some
intentionally and others not. Most modern
schools’ goal is to equip students with the
knowledge, skills, capacities, and values along
with the enthusiasm to maintain a healthy
lifestyle into adulthood. Some schools also
require physical education as a way to promote
weight loss in students. Activities included in the
programmes are designed to promote physical
fitness, to develop motor skills, to instil
knowledge and understanding of rules,
concepts, and strategies, and to teach students
to work as part of a team, or as individuals, in a
wide variety to competitive activities.
METHODOLOGY
To achieve the purpose of the study the
school going male swimmers who used to come
for regular training at Shri Shivaji swimming
pool, Amravati served as sources of data. Total
40 male swimmers from secondary school of
Amravati city were selected as subjects. The age
of the subjects were ranged from 15-20 years.
The subjects were assigned at random into two
groups of 20 each, control and experimental
group.
Training protocol
During the training period, the
experimental group underwent the following
training programme from Monday to Saturday
in a week and on Sunday total rest was given.

Analysis of the data
The data collected from the two groups,
control and experimental groups were
statistically analysed by using ‘t’ test. The
collected data were analysed by using (SPSS)
statistical package for social sciences. In all the
cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed.

Table-1 reveals that there is significant
difference between means of pre and post test of
control group, because mean of pre test is
95.736 is less than mean of post test is 101.099,
and there mean difference is 5.363. To check the
significant difference between pre and post test
of control group the data was again analysed by
applying‘t’ test. There was no significant
difference between pre and post test of control
group because value of calculated‘t’ = 0.877
which is less than tabulated‘t’ = 2.021 at 0.05
level of confidence, which shows no
improvement was found in Cardio-Vascular
Endurance.

Table-2 reveals that there is significant
difference between means of pre and post test of
experimental group, because mean of pre test is
92.010 is less than mean of post test is 94.088,
and there mean difference is 2.077. There was
least significant difference between pre and post
test of experimental group because value of
calculated ‘t’ = 1.034 which is greater than
tabulated ‘t’ = 2.021 at 0.05 level of confidence,
which shows six weeks aerobic training have
least effect of six weeks swimming training on
the Cardio-Vascular Endurance of experimental
group.

Table-3 reveals that there is significant
difference between means of post test of control
and experimental group, because mean of post
test of control group is 101.099 is greater than
mean of post test of experimental group is
94.088, and there mean difference is 7.011.
There was significant difference between post
tests of control and experimental group because
value of calculated ‘t’ = 2.279 which is greater
than tabulated ‘t’ =2.021 at 0.05 level of
confidence, which shows improvement in
Cardio-Vascular Endurance among

training and no improvement in Cardio-
Vascular Endurance was found in control group.
CONCLUSION
In this paper we found that there is
significant effect of swimming on cardio-
vascular endurance at 0.05 level of hypothesis.
The Cardio-Vascular endurance showed
significant improvement as the planned training
program shows the significant effect. Hence
swimming training program of six weeks was
adequate for Cardio-Vascular endurance. It has
been observed from the analysis of data that
there was significant difference between the
same variables among the groups after the
administration of training programme.
