The given study aimed to evaluate the effect of six-week endurance training on vital capacity and resting heart rate. In this study, 12 adolescents of Gwalior, aged 16 to 18 participated. The participants were evaluated using a spirometer and radial pulse test to measure vital capacity and resting heart rate respectively. Data were collected before and after the intervention to measure the program's effects. The participants were uninterruptedly subjected to a well-designed endurance training program for six weeks. The results significantly improved the participant's vital capacity and resting heart rate. Statistical analysis revealed highly significant differences (p<.05) between pre-and post-test measures, confirming the positive effects of the endurance training program. These findings conclude that a well-designed endurance program increases vital capacity and decreases the number of heartbeats per minute, thus making the cardiovascular system more efficient. This underscores the pivotal role of commitment to endurance training in enhancing the overall physical well-being of adolescents.
