A study on cardiorespiratory endurance of the students commuting to schools by three differents travelling mode

Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare Cardio respiratory Endurance of the students commuting to Schools by three differents travelling mode (Walking, Bicycling and Motor Vehicles). For the purpose of the study initially Six hundred (N = 600) school going boys students were selected as subject for the study. 14 to18 years in age ranged class VIII to class XII grade school male students were purposely selected from seven higher secondary schools located at Birbhum district in West Bengal as subjects of the study. Each group consisted of 200 subjects, i.e. Walking group N = 200, Bicycle group N = 200 and Motor vehicle group N = 200. Category-wise number of subjects was selected from the different schools. The data was calculated by descriptive statistics, for all independent variables ware computed by using SPSS, one way ANOVA test followed by t-tests were used.The result it is concluded that the distance of bicycling, a commuting mode, increased Cardiorespiratory Endurance capacity (429.296**) were significantly improved. Here the level of significance was set at the 0.05 level.
