Abstract
The Purpose of the study was to find out the effects of Aerobic Dance with and without hand held weights on Breath Holding Time of Alagappa University Women Athletes. The study was conducted on forty five (N=45) women athletes who were studying various colleges affiliated to Alagappa University, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects. The selected subjects were assigned in to three groups of fifteen each(n=15), Group I underwent Aerobic Dance with hand held weights, Group II underwent Aerobic Dance without hand held weights, and Group III acted as control. Breath Holding Time was selected as dependent variable. Breath Holding Time was assessed by abdomen touch method. All the subjects were tested on selected dependent variables prior to and immediately after the training periods. The data collected data from the three groups prior to and immediately after the training programme on the selected criterion variables were statistically analyzed with Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post test means was found to be significant, Scheffe’s post hoc test was followed to determine which of the paired mean differences was significant. In all the cases .05 level of confidence was fixed to test the hypotheses. Breath Holding Time showed significant difference among the groups. Aerobic dance with hand held weight group showed better performance than Aerobic dance without hand held weight group and Control group
