Abstract

   The present study sought to controlthe effect of aerobic dance programs and meditation on basketball players' oxygen consumption. The education aims to create a program of aerobic yoga and dance practices and evaluate its effectiveness in improving fitness-related health factors. The study included 45 female basketball players from Umayal Ramanathan College for Women in Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu, and Alagappa University's Physical Education College.  From these, three groups were created: the aerobic dance group, the yoga classes group, and the control organization. Exercises of increasing complexity were part of the eight-week training program, which was designed to improve cardiorespiratory endurance. As the weeks go by, the program gets increasingly complex. Cardiorespiratory endurance was evaluated using established testing methods both before and after the training session. The experiment group's cardiovascular resistance significantly improved when compared to the baseline group, according to the data.  Additionally, the trial group's surge in respiratory endurance was of statistical importance.  The "t" test alongside the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the data.  The Scheffe post-hoc test was utilized to determine the gap between the paired descriptions whenever the "F" ratio of the changed post-test methods was significant.  In every instance, the belief level was set at 0.05.
