Abstract:- Background & Objectives: The three elements of muscle performance, strength, power and endurance can be enhanced by exercise. To what extent each of these elements is altered by exercise depends on how the training is applied and how the factors such as the intensity, frequency and duration of exercise are manipulated. Aim of this study is to find out the acute effect of Continuous and Intermittent Cycling on maximum strength for leg press in non-athlete females. Method: A randomized crossover study was carried out to check the effect of aerobic exercise on strength training. 10 non-athlete Female student volunteers from physiotherapy college were under went, [1] Control Session (Control): 1RM was calculated without any exercise. [2] Experimental Session-1 (Continuous): Continuous Cycling for 30min. at 65-75% of MHR (Maximum heart rate). [3] Experimental Session-2 (Intermittent): 3 bouts of 10min cycling at 65-75% of MHR. After 10min of rest 1RM was calculated. Each session was 1 week apart to avoid any carryover effect. Result: The Mean ± SD value of 1RM for control group is 137.65±14.32, continuous aerobic training group is 117.69±14.34 and for intermittent aerobic training group is 109.66±13.89.One way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey HSD were showed that there is significant difference between Control and Continuous & Control and intermittent but there is no significant difference between continuous and intermittent cycling on 1RM. Conclusion: Continuous or Intermittent protocol of Endurance exercise is equally effective to produce interference in maximum strength.
