The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of progressive interval running on cardio respiratory endurance and speed endurance among basketball players. To achieve the purpose of this study, 20 school male basketball players are randomly selected as subjects from the in around Tirunelveli District, Tamilnadu, India. Their age ranged from 15 to 17 years. the selected participants were randomly divided into two groups such as group ‘I’ underwent progressive interval running (n=10) and group ‘II’ acted as control group (n-10). Group ‘I’ underwent progressive interval running for three alternative days and one session per day and each session lasted for 30 minutes for six week. Group ‘II’ was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The data on cardio respiratory endurance and speed endurance were collected by administering by cooper 12 minutes run/ walk test and 150 meters run method. The pre and post tests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the training programme. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) for each and every selected variable separately. It was concluded that the progressive interval running group had shown significantly improved in cardio respiratory endurance and speed endurance. However the control group had not shown any significant improvement on any of the selected variables such as cardio respiratory endurance and speed endurance.
