  "description": "<p>The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of circuit training on cardio respiratory<br>\nfitness, flexibility and speed variables. The design of this research was experimental method.<br>\nThirty male students of Merawi secondary school aged 15-16 years had divided randomly into<br>\n2 equal groups. Both the exercise group (n = 15) and control group (n = 15) participated in<br>\nthe typical 1 classes of 40-minute Physical education per week in schools, but only<br>\nparticipated in additional 2 sessions per week of 40 minutes per session of exercise training,<br>\nwhich comprised as jumping jack, wall sit, push up, abdominal crunch, squat, triceps dips,<br>\njumping rope, side lifts, side plank, step up, lung and plank. Both groups had taken pre and<br>\npost-testing and all the subjects participated in physical fitness tests: cardio respiratory<br>\nfitness was measured using 12 minute run and flexibility was measured using sit and reach<br>\ntest and speed was by 60 meter speed test. The collected data was analyzed using statistical<br>\nmethod Analysis of paired t-test with level of significant 0.05. The results showed circuit<br>\ntraining significantly improved cardio respiratory fitness, flexibility and speed in at p&gt;0.05<br>\nbut in no significant change was observed in all the variables. Therefore, this research<br>\nconfirmed as circuit training could improve the cardiovascular, flexibility and speed of high<br>\nschool students. Hence the allocated physical education period in Ethiopian education system<br>\nis very low and high school students should get additional times to improve their fitness and<br>\nhealth.</p>",
