The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of concurrent strength and endurance training for physical education students on selected variables namely Explosive strength in vertical and Muscular endurance. To achieve this purpose of the study, forty students studying in the department of physical education and sports sciences, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar, TamilNadu and India were selected as subjects at random. Their age ranged between eighteen to twenty two years. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups of twenty each namely concurrent strength and endurance training group and control group. The experimental group has undergone twelve weeks of concurrent strength and endurance training, whereas the control group maintained their daily routine activities and no special training was given. The subjects of the two groups were tested on selected variables namely Explosive strength in vertical and Muscular endurance using standardized tests, namely Vertical jump and bent knee sit-ups at prior and immediately after the training period. The collected data were analyzed statistically through analysis of variance (ANOVA) to find out the significant difference, if any between the groups. The .05 level of confidence was fixed to test the level of significance which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study showed that there was significant differences exist between concurrent strength and endurance training group and control group. And also concurrent strength and endurance training group showed significant improvement on Explosive strength in vertical and Muscular endurance compared to control group.
