Effect Of 30/40 Small Sided Football Training On Speed And Endurance Among Slum Children

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of 30/40 small sided football training on speed and endurance among slum children. To achieve the purpose of the study 30 slum children were selected from Royapuram, Chennai and their age ranged between 12 and 15 years and their ht = 161.8 ± 0.5cm and wt = 50.7 ± 0.5kg.  The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups with 15 subjects each based on their initial football playing ability. Group I underwent 30/40 small sided football training, Group II consider as Control group and did not participate in any training. Training Programme limited with five days per week (three days training and two days game play) for six weeks. The selected variables such as speed and endurance were measured by 30 meter sprint and cooper test. The subjects of two groups were tested on selected variables prior and immediately after the training period. Collected data were analyzed by using a dependent 't'-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of confidence. Results proved that 30/40 small sided football training improved speed and endurance of slum children.
