Abstract :

 Background:  In soccer aerobic power and cellular body composition has an important role. 

Objective:  The objectives of the study were to observe the status of aerobic power and cellular body composition of district level Indian soccer players. Also observe the relationship between them.

Method:  In the present study 20 Indian district level soccer players age between 18-25 years were conveniently selected from Birbhum district of West Bengal as subjects.  To measure aerobic power Queen’s College Step test was employed and to measure cellular body composition Bio-scan analyser was used (Maltron Bio-scan 915 Analyser, Maltron International Ltd.  PO box 15, Raylegh Essex, SS69 SM, UK.www.matonint.Com).  The data were analysed by applying descriptive statistics to determine the status of aerobic power and cellular body composition and Pearson Product moment method of correlation to observe relationship between selected variables of Indian Soccer players. 

Result:  The mean aerobic power of district level Indian soccer players in was 51.32±5.18 ml/kg/min whereas, mean total body protein mass was 10.83±2.30 kg, total body mineral mass was 3.80±0.81 kg, total body potassium was 113.44±17.82 gm, total body calcium was 919.61±146.78 gm and body glycogen mass was 435.72±44.82 gm respectively.  Also there were positive significant relationship between aerobic power and total body potassium (0.539) and total body calcium (0.472) of district level Indian soccer players respectively.

Conclusion:  From the findings it may be concluded that aerobic power is directly proportional to total body potassium and total body calcium of district level Indian soccer players.
