The purpose of the present study was to know the effects of concurrent strength and endurance training on flexibility of junior athletes. Thirty school junior athletes from Alagappa Model Higher Secondary School, Karaikudi were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged between 15 to 17 years. The thirty subject were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=10, STb ET) underwent strength training before endurance training, the experimental group-2 (n=10, STaET) underwent strength training after endurance training and group 3 served as control group (n=10, CG). The flexibility was chosen as criterion variables and tested by sit and reach test. The selected two treatment groups were performed three days in a week for the period of nine weeks, as per the stipulated training program.
