Effect of specific package drill training on selected physical fitness components among college men football players

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of specific package drill training on selected physical fitness components namely speed and agility among college men football players. To achieve this purpose of the study, thirty men football players were selected from Government Boy’s Degree College Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India were selected as subjects at random. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups of fifteen subjects each, such as specific package drill training group and control group. The group I underwent specific package drill training for four days per week for twelve weeks. Group II acted as control group who did not participate any special training programmes apart from their regular routine, as per their curriculum. The following variables namely speed and agility were selected as criterion variables. All the subjects of two groups were tested on selected dependent variables at prior to and immediately after the training programme. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the significant difference, if any between the groups. The. 05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the “F” ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant difference between specific package drill training group and control group on selected physical fitness components namely speed and agility.
