Effect of continuous running fartlek training and interval training on selected motor ability and physiological variables among male football players

Abstract

The present study was undertaken to analyze the effect of continuous running fartlek training and interval training on selected motor ability and physiological variables among male football players. The investigator has selected sixty inter collegiate football men players at random, their age ranged from 18–25 years. The subjects chosen for the study were divided into four equal groups and designated as experimental group ‘A’ experimental group ‘B’ experimental group ‘C’ and control group ‘D’. Continuous running were given to group ‘A’ Fartlek training group ‘B’ Interval training given to group ‘C’ and the control group ‘D’ were restricted to participate in any activities. The trainings were given for a period of twelve weeks. The data were collected before and after the training. The obtained data's were analyzed by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The level of significant was fixed at 0.05 levels. Where ever the ‘F’ ratio was found significant scheffe's post test was used for find out the significant differences among the paired mean. The results of the study showed that continuous running, fartlek training and interval training are significantly improved than control group.
