Impact of speed endurance training and high intensity interval training on adult football players' agility

Abstract

The study's goal was to determine how adult football players' agility was affected by speed endurance and high-intensity interval training. 75 male district-level adult football players from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, who were between the ages of 18 and 25 were chosen at random for the study. Twenty-five were chosen at random to be in the speed endurance training (SET) group, twenty-five to be in the high intensity interval training (HIIT) group, and twenty-five to be in the control group for the research. One of the study's variables was agility. The experimental groups received both speed endurance training (SET) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for eight weeks. Descriptive statistics, ANCOVA, and LSD post-hoc testing were used to compute the data. The study's findings showed that the adult football players' agility was considerably increased by the HIIT and SET groups.
