Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the general and specific aerobic training influence on selected skill performance among university men football players. For the purpose of the study, sixty men football players studying Bachelors degree in the Department of physical Education and sports sciences, Annamalai University, Tamil Nadu, India were selected as subjects and they were divided into three equal groups of twenty subjects each at random namely general aerobic training group, specific aerobic training group and control group. The age of the selected subjects were ranged from 18 to 21years. Group I underwent general aerobic training and group 11 underwent specific aerobic training (small sided games ( 7X7 football area ) respectively for three days per week for twelve weeks group III acted as control who did not undergo any special training programme apart from their regular physical education programme of their curriculum. The following performance variables namely dribbling ability and passing ability were any selected as criterion variables. The data were collected on selected criterion variables at prior and immediately after the experimental period as pre and posttests respectively. Dribbling. Ability and passing ability were tested by using F-MARC test battery the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the isgnificant difference among the group. If any separately for each criterion variable. Since, three group were compared, whenever the obtained F ratio for adjusted post test was found to be significant, the Scheffes test was used to find out the paired mean differences. if any 0.5 level of confidence was fixed to test the level of significance which was considered as an appropriate . The results of the study showed that specific aerobic training group has significantly differed on selected performance variables namely dribbling ability and passing ability when compared to aerobic training and control group. General aerobic training group also significantly differed on performance variables namely dribbling ability and passing ability when compared to control group
