Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the effect of specially designed aerobic activities andindigenous activities training program on selected variable of physiology. Total 45 female collegestudents were selected as the subject of the study. Resting heart rate, vital capacity and resting breathingrate were selected as the physiological variables. The selected subjected were divided into twoexperimental groups and one control group. Both experimental groups were given training for eightweeks. ANCOVA was used as statistical tool for the study. Result of the study showed that the aerobicactivities and indigenous activities training significantly improved heart rate and vital capacity. Whereasthere was no significant change observed in resting breathing rate.
