Objective: Endurance is the ability to work for prolonged period of time. Individuals of all ages can improve their general fitness & Endurance by participating in activities that include walking, biking, cycling, running, swimming, stair climbing, and weight training etc2. In rehabilitation centers we come across several patients for improvement of their general fitness & endurance. We used to give them training on Treadmill & Cycle Ergometer. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of treadmill with cycle ergometer on endurance in normal subjects.Material and Method: Total 20 subjects divided in group A & group B (10 subjects in each group) Training using treadmill and cycle ergometer respectively was for continuous 30 days with progression regularly. 12 minute walk test walk distance was used to measure the endurance after training.
Results: There is no significant difference in effectiveness of treadmill & cycle ergometer on endurance in normal subjects. The value of tc obtained for walk distance for treadmill & cycle trainee is 0.1998 0.2
Conclusion: The study concluded that Bicycle Ergo meter is appropriate alternative to Treadmill for training in healthy volunteers. Training programme should be individualized.

The present research intends to examine the relationship between the two constructs of positive psychology i.e. forgiveness and psychological well-being among females within age group of 18 to 21 years. Arandom sample of 50 female students is selected from colleges in Chandigarh. For this purpose, it is hypothesized that there exists a positive correlation between forgiveness and psychological well-being. In this study. Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Thompson & Synder, 2003) and Ryffs Psychological Well-being scales (42 items) (1989) is used to measure forgiveness and well-being respectively. The relationships between them were examined using correlation analysis. The results revealed significant correlation ( r= 0.461, p<0.01) between forgiveness and psychological well-being among females. It indicated that females high in forgiveness are more likely to show improved psychological wellbeing.Keywords

Studies were undertaken for two consecutive years (kharif 2015 and 2016) at the CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvidyalaya, Rice and Wheat Research Centre, Malan (Himachal Pradesh, India) under field conditions using paddy variety ‘Kasturi Basmati’. Losses in paddy due to rice hispa, Dicladispa armigera (Oliver) were quantified in terms of release density (number of adults per tiller) and phenological stages of crop. Results revealed that both these aspects significantly influenced leaf damage as well as yield of paddy. Early stage release (20 DAT, days after transplanting) contributed to maximum leaf damage (69.9 PLDI (per cent leaf damage index)) and at the same time exerted a significant negative influence on various yield components, viz. number of tillers, panicles, grains and grain weight (g) for which the respective regression coefficients were 5.82, 5.73, 441.4 and 8.06, respectively (per 4 rice hills).Keywords
