ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study was to see the effect of Isometric and Isotonic Training program on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in overweight children. Total thirty subjects were selected on the basis of BMI (IAP Boys Body Mass Index Charts). They were further divided into tree groups i.e. isometric (10), isotonic (10) and control groups (10). The purposive sampling technique was used to achieve the objective of the study. Data were collected with the Dexa instrument. The means of different treatment were compared by applying the ANCOVA. Statistical significance was tested at 0.05 level. Based on obtained data, it can be concluded that both the isometric and isotonic training program can be used to improve the BMD in overweight children.
