Abstract

This study evaluates the seasonal performance of motor fitness between two districts’ women soccer players as in that particular time soccer players generally stay in the top position of their performance. A group of 25 women soccer players were selected from each district as subject, those who have minimum five years of training in soccer by renowned coaches. Those 50 subjects were chosen respectively from Dakshin Dinajpur district (age 17.32±0.94 years; height 154.08±7.46 cm and weight 40.44±3.34 kg.) and Uttar Dinajpur district (age 17.44±1.00 years; height 151.12±9.51 cm and weight 40.24±4.33 kg.) West Bengal, India. A comparative study was conducted on women soccer players to assess their motor fitness (speed, agility and power). Motor fitness was assessed by the test of speed – 50m. linear sprint, test of power – standing broad jump and test of agility – 4X10 yds. Shuttle runs. Results reveal that Uttar Dinajpur district maintained better fitness in agility, power and speed than Dakshin Dinajpur district women soccer players. The findings also indicate a significance difference (0.05 level) between two district women soccer players in motor fitness components.
