The purpose of the study was to analyse the effect of aerobic exercise and weight training on selected physiological and anthropometric variables among school obese students in Tamilnadu. To achieve the purpose of the study, forty five school students from AJC Matriculation school, SBJ Matriculation school, SVK Matriculation school were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged between 14 and 17 years. The study was formulated as a true random group design, consisting of a pre-test and post-test. The selected subjects were divided into three groups of fifteen each. Group I underwent aerobic exercises for twelve weeks (for five days a week). Group II underwent weight training for twelve weeks (for five days a week). Group III acted as control group that did not participate in any special training programme apart from their regular physical education programme as per their curriculum. After completion of the subject belonging to all the three groups were again tested on criterion measures as measured during the initial test. To find out the difference between pre and post test of each groups, paired ‘t’ test was used. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was computed because the subjects were selected random but the groups were not equated in relation to the factors to be examined. The scheffe’s post-hoc test was administered to find out the paired means difference to test the obtained results on variables, level of significance 0.05 was chosen and considered as sufficient for the study. The results of the study indicates that the experimental groups namely aerobic exercise group and weight training group had shown significant improvement on selected physiological and anthropometrical variables among school obese students.
