Abstract

The   study was designed to investigate the impact of Soccer specific conditioning on speed and kicking ability of high altitude adolescent soccer players. Thirty adolescent soccer players who   were studying in the high altitude area at The High Range School Munnar, Idukki district of Kerala  state were selected as subjects and segregated into two groups of fifteen subjects each as experimental group and control group following random procedure. The experimental group underwent soccer specific conditioning over a period of twelve weeks at high altitude area where as control group did not participate in any of the training except their regular play. Speed and Kicking ability were   assessed before and after the experimental period by using 50yard sprint and Mor Christian Soccer Shooting test respectively. ANCOVA was used to analyze the collected data. The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference between experimental group and control group on speed and kicking abilities of adolescent soccer players.
