ABSTRACT
Retro running is a less natural motion, but can be accomplished with some speed with practice .it is better to start out backward running or walking or also called retro pedalling. Like normal running backward running will add an additional degree of difficulty. To achieve the purpose of the study was find out the effects of retro running on health related physical fitness among college women. Thirty (n=30) women were randomly selected from Bharathiar university, Coimbatore and their ages ranged from 19 to 25 years. Group-I underwent retro run training and group –II acted as control group. The duration of the training period was restricted to six weeks and the number of sessions per week was confined to five days in a row. Muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, cardiorespiratory endurance was measured as variablesThe data were collected in raw form and analysed by computing the descriptive statistical techniques and ‘t’ test were applied. The level of significance was set at 0.05 level of confidence.
Keywords: College Women, Physical Fitness, Endurance, Training, Health.
