Dr. A. S. Nageswaran

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of isolated strength training, isolated endurance training and concurrent strength and endurance training on Speed among soccer players. To achieve the purpose of the study, 60 male soccer players were randomly selected as subjects from the Nazareth Margoschis College at Pillaiyanmanai, Nazareth and JACSI College of Engineering, Nazareth, Thoothukudi district, Tamilnadu, India. The selected participants were divided into four groups such as Group I underwent isolated strength training (n=15), Group II underwent isolated endurance training (n=15), Group III underwent concurrent (strength and endurance) training (n=15) and Group IV acted as control (n=15). The experimental groups I, II& III were subjected to ten weeks isolated strength training, isolated endurance training, and concurrent (strength and endurance) training respectively and the group IV acted as control. The training was given 3days per week on strength sessions (alternate days) for Group I, 3days per week on endurance sessions (alternate days) for Group II and 5 days per week, 3 days endurance and 2 days strength sessions (alternate days) for Group III, every training session lasted for 45 to 60 minutes. The isolated strength training and concurrent training groups were tested for 1RM prior to the training and their load was progressively increased from 75% of 1RM up to 85% of 1RM in strength training. For Group II &III the intensity of endurance training was progressively increased from 70% up to 80%. The subjects of all groups were tested on Speed prior to and after the training period. The data were collected by administering 50 Meters Run for Speed. The pre–test data were collected two days before the training program and the post–test data were collected two days after the training program. The data collected from pre–test and post–test experimentation on Speed were statistically examined for significant difference, if any, applying the analysis of co–variance (ANCOVA). It was concluded that, the experimental groups namely isolated strength training and concurrent training groups had significant improvements in the selected variable Speed than the isolated endurance training and control groups. Isolated strength training group had better improvements (3%) than the concurrent training group (2%) in the selected criterion variable Speed.
