Abstract :

Football is the world’s most popular form of sport being played by every nation without exception. Football’s most wide spread code is association football or soccer. For this study, Twenty four intercollegiate college men football players (8 Forward, 8 mid fields, 8 Defenders) were selected as subjects. They were selected from various colleges in Coimbatore city, Tamil Nadu. Their ages ranged from 17 to 28 years. The selected criterion variables are selected space orientation ability and agility. The variables measured with numbered medicine ball test and agility tested with 4x10 shuttle run. Twelve weeks of specific preparatory training was given to the selected subjects. Their training days and hours every week were from Monday to Friday from 5.oo to 6.30 pm. The results shows that pretest, the subject in the forward position group, midfield position group and defense position group are treated with specific preparatory training for five days a week and for duration of 12 weeks. Mid tests are conducted after 6 weeks of training and post tests are conducted in all the variables for all the four groups after 12 weeks of training. The collected data treated with Repeated measures ANOVA is applied. When the F ratio is found to be significant NewmanKeuls post hoc test is applied to test which of the possible comparison among the means are significant. Analysis of Covariance is applied to determine the significant difference among the three groups namely forward position group, midfield position group and defense position group on the development of selected variables after 12 weeks of training. If the F ratio is significant to find out which of the paired adjusted final group means is significant, scheffe’s posthoc test is applied. The results shows that Impact of specific preparatory training on selected coordinative abilities space orientation ability and agility improved
