Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the impact of superior pace training on physical fitness parameters among school level male footballers. To achieve the purpose of the study 40 school level male football players were selected from C.S.I higher secondary school ketti and N.S.IYAH Memorial Higher secondary school ketti palada, The Nilgiris. The subjects was randomly assigned to two equal groups (n=20). Group- I underwent superior pace training and group - II was acted as control group (CG). The superior pace training was given to the experimental group for 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) for the period of eight weeks. The control group was not given any sort of training except their routine work. A pilot study was conducted to assess the initial capacity of the subjects in order to fix the load. The physical fitness components of speed (50 yards dash) and Muscular strength endurance (Sit ups) were measured before and after training period. The data collected from the subjects was statistically analyzed with‘t’ test to find out significant improvement if any at 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the speed and Muscular strength endurance speculated significant improvement due to influence of superior pace training with the limitations of (diet, climate, life style) status and previous training.
