Abstract :

Total 120 Football Players, within the age group of 21 to 29 years were selected as subjects of the study. They were divided into four equal groups (N=30 in each group) namely Group A, B, and C were treated as experimental group and D was treated as control group. The score of football playing ability (Mc–Donald Soccer Test) were recorded on all the subjects before the administration of specific weight training package (pre–test), and after 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks (Post–tests) of the administration of training schedule, the post–test scores were recorded on every subject for all the parameters. Mc Donald soccer test scores of the subjects as a measure of football playing ability improved significantly with administration of differential intensity and duration with present weight training schedule. However, high intensity of such training schedule administered at least for 12 weeks could enhance the performance better than any other combinations of training intensity and duration.
