Pre test and post test randomized group design was applied to this research. Sixty College men Football players from Kolkatta city were randomly selected and they were assigned into four equal groups. Each group consisted of fifteen subjects. Pre test was conducted for all the Sixty subjects on selected fitness variables namely agility, explosive power and playing ability. Playing ability was measured by experts rating. This initial test scores formed as pre test scores of the subjects. Experimental Group I was exposed to Functional Training (FTG) experimental group II was exposed to Aerobic Training (ATG), Experimental III was exposed combined functional and aerobic training (CFAT) and the control group was not exposed to any experimental training other than their regular daily activities. The duration of experimental period was 12 weeks. After the experimental treatment, all the Sixty subjects were measured on the selected fitness and playing ability. This final test scores formed as post test scores of the subjects. The pre test and post test scores were subjected to statistical analysis using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the significance among the mean differences, whenever the 'F' ratio for adjusted test was found to be significant; Scheffe's Post hoc test was used. In all cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed to test hypotheses. The result of the study reveals that the experimental trainings significantly improved fitness variables namely agility, explosive power, and playing ability of the Football players. | | Keywords : | | |
