 Materials and methods. 28 obese female students aged 20–30 with a BMI ranging between 30 kg/m2 35 were involved in study. Participants randomly divided into three groups which comprised group, an aerobic control group. Sit reach test (flexibility), sit up (muscular endurance) 20-meter shuttle run (cardiovascular measured as fitness parameters. All tests conducted before after 12-week intervention training program.
 Results. results indicate that had significant (p < 0.05) improvement performance compared group also showed 20-metre groups.
 Conclusions. In conclusion, these findings demonstrated when combined more effective improve flexibility, muscular endurance cardiovascular among only. Therefore, it is suggested trainers should consider combining aerobics program endurance.
