Pre-test was taken before the training period and post-test was measured immediately after the eight weeks training period. The data were collected before and after the training program and statistically analyzed by using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The results of the study show that specific resistance and aerobic training can be effective training programme to improve the Muscular strength endurance of school-going Male Basket Ball players.
