The experimental groups underwent the experimental training programme for a period of twelve weeks with three training sessions in a week. Students representing control group did not undergo any training. General linear model Uni variate analysis of variance was used to find out the significant differences in means among the two experimental and control groups. The level of significance chosen was 0.05. It was found out that  Station training and Explosive Power  training was effective to improve endurance of the college students.
