        abstract = {The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of serial and parallel strength and endurance training on leg strength, tidal volume and body mass index.  Forty five male players of various games aged between 19 and 25 years were selected for the study.  They were divided into three equal groups, each group consisting of fifteen subjects in which three experimental groups and one control group, in which the group I (n=15) underwent serial strength and endurance training, group II (n = 15) underwent parallel strength and endurance training for three days (alternative days) per week for twelve weeks and group III, acted as control, which did not participate in any training apart from their regular game practice.  The subjects were tested on selected criterion variables as leg strength, tidal volume and body mass index at prior to and immediately after the training period.  For testing the leg strength the leg lift with dynamometer was used, for measuring the tidal volume, expirograph was used and BMI was assessed by using Getlet formula. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference if any, between the experimental groups and control group on selected criterion variable separately.  Since there were three groups involved in the present study, the Scheffé S test was used as post-hoc test.  The selected criterion variables such as leg strength, tidal volume and body mass index were improved significantly for all the training groups when compared with the control group. But there was no significant difference was found between the training groups.},
