Abstract :

Aim of the study was to find out an influence of exercise order on Explosive power parameters of men Soccer. The study was conducted on forty five(N=45) under graduate Soccer players, studying various affiliated Engineering Colleges in Anna University, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India during the year 2012-2013 were selected as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged from 18 to 22 years. The subjects were assigned at random into three groups of fifteen each (n=15). Group-I underwent large and progressed toward small muscle group exercises (LG-SM), Group-II underwent small and advanced to large muscle group exercises (SM-LG), Group-III acted as control group (CG). The experimental groups underwent their respective training for 10 weeks. One repetition maximum (1RM) was given for all exercises. Among the Explosive power parameters explosive power in vertical direction (EPVD) and explosive power in horizontal direction (EPHD) were selected as dependent variables. Explosive power in vertical direction (EPVD) was assessed by Sargent Jump test and Explosive power in horizontal direction (EPHD was assessed by standing long jump test. All the subjects were tested prior to and after the training for all the selected variables. The data collected from the three groups prior to and post experimentation was statistically analyzed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Scheffe�s post hoc test was applied to determine the significant difference between the paired means. In all the cases .05 level of significance was fixed. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference was found among the experimental groups. Small and advanced to large muscle group exercises (SM-LG) group is found to be better than other groups.
