In modern society, sports have a very important role to play. Much of theattraction of the sports comes from the wide variety of experience and feelings thatresult from participation, namely, joy, anguish, success, failure, pain, relief and afeeling of belonging.Sports is a social phenomenon by it helps the society to develop all necessary traits of personality these arerequired for the development of an individual.  The sport of gymnastics, which derives its name from the ancient Greek word for disciplinary exercises, combines physical skills such as body control, coordination, dexterity, gracefulness, and strength with tumbling and acrobatic skills, all performed in an artistic manner. Gymnastics is performed by both men and women at many levels, from local clubs and schools to colleges and universities, and in elite national and international competitions. Physical fitness is one component of total fitness of an individual. Total fitness is a result of the genetic makeup and the interaction with the environment. The totally fit individual is psychological stable, mentally alert, emotionally balanced and socially adjustable to different circumstances prevailing in the society. For successful motor sequence to achieve an accurate and efficient movement is needed whether it is a single effort as in a golf drive or a series of complex and rapidly changing movements as in basketball. We must have a broad base fromthe point of view of national health, certainly, there is a strong need that a commoncitizen be taken care of his physical well-being. Emerging vertically out of it, forhighly competitive sports performances of course will be a continuous naturalphenomenon in the coming years. As such it is a concern of education in achieving itsgoal of self - realization and development of individual abilities. Consequently

Physical Education with its common goals as that of Education should take upphysical fitness and general motor ability as an essential objective in the achievementof individual physical well-being.

Gymnastics

The sport of gymnastics, which derives its name from the ancient Greek wordfor disciplinary exercises, combines physical skills such as body control, coordination, dexterity, gracefulness, and strength with tumbling and acrobatic skills, all performed in an artistic manner.

The methodology of this study consisted of experimental method for testing the effect of circuit training and aerobic exercise on cardiovascular endurance of gymnasts. The selected groups have been divided into three groups i.e. group A, B and C. A group has been given ten weeks circuit training treatment. Group B has been given ten weeks aerobic exercise and Group C was control group.

Tool Used

Endurance of the subject was measured by 600 Yard run/walk.

Statistical Techniques

Mean Standard deviation and ‘ANOVA’ Tests were used to analyze the data.

Table.2 ANOVA Table of endurance among three groups of gymnasts after ten weeks training

Enclosed as Annexure 02

From table.2, it is evident that F value of 23.717 with df (2, 57) is significant at 0.05 level of significance for the main effect of ten weeks training on gymnasts. This means that ten weeks training have a significant independent effect upon endurance of gymnasts.  Therefore, null hypothesis “There will be no significant difference in endurance among three groups gymnasts after ten weeks training” is rejected. Therefore, it can be said that there is significant difference among the three groups. It means that various categories are not belonged to the same population with regard to their mean scores. The significant mean difference in endurance among three groups i.e., experimental group 1, experimental group 2 and control group have been calculated by using post-hoc test and presented in Table no..3.
