The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of concurrent training on some selected physical fitness components of Zuyhamusit preparatory school male student football team. The physical fitness training which was given to the trainees was insufficient to develop muscular endurance, agility, flexibility and speed. Quasi experimental research design was used for this study. The researcher selected all 24 preparatory school male students football team age range between 17-20 years selected all players used by comprehensive sampling method. And also Simple random sampling method used to grouped in to experimental (n=12) and control group (n=12) by using simple random lottery system. The experimental group engaged in exercise program (3days per week for 50-60 minutes in three months). However, the control group did not perform concurrent training, both groups undergone normal football training program. The two groups took the test items included modified, 1miniut push up, sit and reach, Illinois and 30mater dash run tests as pre and post-test. These test items used to determine muscular endurance, flexibility, agility and speed of the respondents. This data were analyzed by using SPSS version 21 software by paired sample t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The analyzed data showed that concurrent training significantly improved muscular endurance, speed, agility and flexibility of football player in pre-post test performance of EG (p<0.05). But, no significant improvement were found in all selected physical fitness component variables pre-post test performance of CG (P>0.05). This was due to the effects of concurrent training on selected physical fitness component. Based on this finding, it can be concluded that 12 week concurrent training had positive effect on muscular endurance speed agility and flexibility of football player. Therefore, it is recommended that football players and coaches should include concurrent training in their training sessions for development of physical fitness level of players. |
