Each group consists of 15 subjects. The following criterion variable was chosen namely lower body strength endurance. The adjusted post-test means of lower body strength endurance, circuit training group, aquatic training group and control group are 33.46, 34.58 and 27.92 respectively on lower body strength endurance the obtained ‘F’ ratio of 25.99 for adjusted post-test means is more than the table value of 3.22 for df 2 and 41 required for significance at 0.05 level of confidence on lower body strength endurance. There was a significant difference exists between circuit training group and control group, aquatic training group and control group on lower body strength endurance. And also there was a significant difference exists between aquatic and circuit training group.
