Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of fartlek training on selected bio-chemical variables among football players. It was hypothesized that there would have been a significant effect of fartlek training on selected bio-chemical variables among football players. For the present study 30 women University football players from Thiruvalluvar University, Vellore, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 21 years. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent fartlek training and Group ‘B’ underwent no training. The variables such as total cholesterol, LDL and HDL were assessed by enzymatic calorimeter method. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training and analyzed by applying Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA). The level of significance was set at 0.05. Significant effect of fartlek training was found on total cholesterol, LDL and HDL.
