Effect of eight week circuit training on selected physical variables in football players

The aim of the study was to examine the effects of circuit training on selected physical variables (speed and Explosive strength) in inter-collegiate level football players. Forty male football players participated in this study. The subjects were randomized into two groups, i.e., (i) Circuit Training Group (N=20) and (ii) Control Group (N=20). While Circuit Training Group had undergone selected circuit training exercises the Control Group did not participate in any circuit training exercises. All subjects participated in both pre-test and post-test. The data were collected before and after the eight weeks circuit training programme. To find out the significant difference ‘t’ test were used. The result of the study shows that there is significant improvement on both the selected Physical variables (Speed and Explosive strength) due to the Eight Weeks Circuit Training Program.
