Abstract:
The purpose of this investigation was to find out the effect of low and moderate intensity circuit training on speed and agility among college male football players. Forty five male college football players (n = 45) were randomly selected from the Government Degree College, Kulgam. The ages were ranged between 18 and 22 years. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into three equal groups with fifteen subjects each (n = 15) as low intensity circuit training group (LICTG) moderate intensity circuit training group (MICTG) and control group (CG). The experimental groups underwent their respective experimental treatment for twelve weeks 5 days per week and session on each day. The control group (CG) did not expose any special training apart from their regular activities. The speed and agility was taken as dependent variables for the study and was measured by using 50 meter dash and 20 meter shuttle run. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the collected data. The result revealed that the low and moderate intensity circuit training was made significant improvement (p ≤ 0.05) on physical variables of selected subjects. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 levels.
