Abstract The purpose of the present study was to find out the influence of different intensity aerobic dance training on strength endurance among young boys. A total of forty five young boys students (n = 45) were randomly selected as subjects and their age was ranged from 14 to 18 years. The selected subjects were further assigned into three equal groups of fifteen subjects each (n = 15), they were named as experimental group I underwent high intensity aerobic dance training; experimental group II underwent medium intensity aerobic dance training and the third group was acted as control group. The control group does not do any specific training while the training duration. The training was extended twelve weeks and three sessions per week. Strength endurance was selected as criterion variable and it was measured by using the standard test item of sit-up test. The data were collected before and after the training duration and the collected data were analysed by using the SPSS statistical tool of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The Scheffe's test was applied as a post hoc test to determine the paired mean difference if any. The result of the study shows that there was a significant change on strength endurance among the selected groups of high intensity and medium intensity, high intensity and control group, medium intensity and control groups.
