Effect of six weeks aerobic training on aerobic power and tidal volume among football players

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of six weeks aerobic training on aerobic power and tidal volume among football players. To achieve the purpose of these study thirty football players were selected from Chennai in the aged range between 18 to 25 years. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups of 15 each, such as experimental and control group. The experimental group participated in the aerobic training for six weeks, training session last for thrice in a week, each section consist of 45minutes and the control group did not participate in any kind of special training programme apart from the daily physical activities. The selected variables such as aerobic power and tidal volume were measured by Margaria Kalamen Test (Watts) and Wet Spirometer (Litter). The subjects of two groups were tested on selected variables prior and immediately after the training period. The collected data were analysed statistically through analyze of covariance (ANCOVA) to find the significance difference. The 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the level of significance difference, the result of the study showed that systematic practice of six weeks aerobic training significance differences on aerobic power and tidal volume among football players.
