Ninety boys in the age group of 15 to 18 years of Kunhali Marakkar Higher Secondary School, Coastal-Calicut were selected at random and were divided randomly into three equal groups namely Progressive training group –A with weights, Progressive training group –B without weights and control group -C. The experimental groups participated in the training programme for a period of 15 weeks. During this period, the control group was let off without any training. The data were collected on selected Physical Fitness variables of Abdominal muscular strength and endurance, Agility, Flexibility, Cardiovascular endurance and VO2 max respectively before training (pre-test) as well as after 15 weeks of training (post-test). Analysis of covariance was used to analyse the data. The results of the study clearly indicated that the weight training group (A) had shown a superior significant improvement in abdominal muscular endurance over others while experimental group without weights (B) showed significant improvement in flexibility, cardio vascular endurance and Vo2 max and control group made no progress at all. .
