Abstract

This research includes 45 obese adolescent boys aged 13-19 years only. The author analyzed the effect of rhythmic exercise on physiological and anthropometric parameters are such as cardiorespiratory endurance and Lean body mass on adolescent obese boys who were randomly selected from (UT) Jammu & Kashmir. They were assigned into three groups each group consists of forty-five subjects. The three groups are namely Group I acted as Experimental Group (Rhythmic exercise) Group II acted as Experimental Group (Suryanamasker exercise) Group III control group without exercise. The duration of the exercise period was 12 weeks. The final test score from the as post-test score was taken from the subjects. ANCOVA was applied to examine the significance of the difference between the post-test and pre-test means of three groups to study the significance of improvement in physical and physiological parameters as a result of the exercise in all cases 0.05 of significance was fixed to test the hypotheses. The result suggests that rhythmic exercise was more effective than Suryanamasker exercise in retaining rhythmic exercise participating and improving in physiological Anthropometric improvement in adolescent obese boys.
