The aim of the recent study was to investigate “effects of 10 weeks soccer specific circuit
training on speed, agility and flexibilityof u-15 female football project trainers”. In order to
achieve the intended objective Experimental design is implemented. For this study 30 Chagni
town U-15 female football project players, who had been fulfilled the health history
questionnaire are included as the study sample, and grouped to Experimental Group (EG) and
Control Group (CG), in the first group EG (N=15), mean age 13.52 years old players are
assigned randomly to the treatment condition and followed ten week intervention program for
three days per week, 60 minute per session. They were engaged in soccer specific speed, agility
and flexibility on Circuit exercise. While the other section CG (N=15) players of corresponding
age, mean 13.72 years also assigned to serve as control group and continue their regular
training. The study physical fitness variables are soccer specific speed, agility, and flexibility, to
see the actual changes, 35 meter run test, T-test, Sit and reach test used as measuring tool.
Paired sample t-test is used to analyze the data, in line to this level of significance was set at
p<0.05. Results showed EG have significantly improved speed performance, pre 5.88 ± 0.16s to
post5.42 ± 0.99(p=0.00), and a significant improvement in agility, pre 11.11 ± 0.43s to post
10.35 ± 0.47s (p=0.00). Moreover they also showed an improvement in flexibility, pre 6.32 ±
1.25cm to post 7.58 ± 1.37cm (p=0.00), major finding in the study is the significant improvement
on speed, agility and flexibility in the intervention group. This is due to the effect of the training
program they were engaged in, and the investigator noticed that the suggested training program
has positive effect on developing and promoting the speed, agility and flexibility of football
players. |
