In the contemporary age, an inactive lifestyle is a burning issue. In the context of Pakistan, the majority of adolescents are victims of sedentary lifestyles leading to various chronic problems like cardio-respiratory diseases. In this regard, regular training is considered a medicine and cure to restrict chronic problems. This study focuses on how adolescents' cardio-respiratory endurance is affected by circuit training. This study comprised of an experimental, randomized controlled trial and pre/post-intervention study design. The intervention was conducted at the Government College of Management Sciences in Haripur Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Twenty-four participants were randomly divided into the experimental group (n=12) and the control group (n=12). Before starting the intervention, a pre-test was conducted and then the experimental group was engaged in circuit training intervention whereas the control group was not engaged in intervention. At the end of the intervention, a post-test was conducted. The change in cardio-respiratory endurance for 16–19-year-old participants differed significantly between the experimental group (Heart Rate 8.083±3.423, Respiratory Rate 2.750±1.357) and control group (Heart Rate .667±2.309, Respiratory Rate -.333±1.371) (p>0.05) in favor of the experimental group. Circuit training intervention is effective in increasing cardio-respiratory endurance among adolescents.
