The objective of the study was to find out the effect of 30 minutes Circuit Training Programme on Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 Max.) of sedentary pre-obese adolescent for a total duration of twenty one days. For the purpose of the study, thirty (n=30) subjects were selected. The age group of the subjects ranged from 13 years to 18 years. The subject selected were the students from Kendriya Vidhyalay, Shalimar Bagh New Delhi. The statistical technique employed for analysing the data were Mean, Standard Deviation and ‘t’ test. The level of significance was set at 0.05 for interpreting the results. The result of the study indicates a significant difference in Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 Max.) between Experimental and Control group. Further, Experimental group had significantly higher average performance mean score as a result of twenty one days of Circuit Training when compared to the control group subjects who were not engaged in any training programme.The findings of the study shall prove very significant in implementing a sound physical education and fitness programme at the school level in order to curb various lifestyle disorders in children.
