Influences of Functional Training on Selected Physiological Variables among Soccer Players

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to find out the influences of functional training on selected physiological variables
among soccer players. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on selected physiological variables due to the effect of functional training among soccer players. For the present study the 30 male soccer players from Engineering Colleges in and around Karur district, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. For the present study pre test – post test random group design which consists of control group and experimental group was used. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen football players each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent functional training and Group ‘B’ has not undergone any training. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying dependent ‘t test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The functional training had positive influences on resting pulse rate and vital capacity among soccer players.
