N2  - The main purpose of the study was to discern the relative impact of aerobics and pilates training on coronary heart infection risk factors and functional components among sedentary males. Forty-five sedentary young males aged 18 to 23 years were allocated to Aerobic group I, Pilates group II, and Control group (n = 15 each). The experimental groups underwent a respective training program for two sessions per day, three days a week, for eight weeks. The variables were resting pulse rate, cooper –VO2 Max test for the physiological parameters and total cholesterol, High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL), and Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) for the coronary heart disease risk factors. A pre- and post-test were conducted on the study variables. The statistical tools used were paired t-testpercentages, and the level of significance was 0.05. The results indicated that the Aerobic and Pilates groups had a noteworthy influence on resting heart rate and VO2 Max (P< 0.05) and the changes recorded were 3.91 and 2.34 %, respectively. Similarly for the total cholesterol, HDL and LDL there was a substantial impact for the Aerobic and Pilates groups (P < 0.05), with the percentage change of 3.85, 1.46, 18.50, 8.40, 3.13, and 1.15 respectively. The Control group did not show any  meaningful  outcome  on any of the variables. It was concluded that Aerobic and Pilates exercise package improved physiological parameters like resting heart rate, VO2 Max, and lipid profiles like an increase in HDL and a  decline in TC and LDL. The Aerobic group showed better results than the Pilates group in all study variables.
