Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of specific preparatory training on selected physiological variables of inter collegiate football players in various playing positions. To achieve this purpose total subjects twenty four intercollegiate college men–football–players (8 forward 8 mid fielder, 8 defenders) from faculty of general and adapted physical education and yoga, Maruthi college of physical education and Sri Rama Krishna Mission college of arts and science, colleges in Coimbatore, were selected as subjects by applying the random sampling techniques. The subjects selected into theirposition wise namely forward, midfield and defender position each group consists of eight subjects. The subject�sage ranged from 17 to 28 years and they formed a true random group design. The selected criterionphysiological variables were namely vital capacity and cardio respiratory endurance. The vital capacity was measured by wet spiro meter and cardio respiratory endurance was measured by 12 min/run walk test. The training period consists of twelve weeks Monday to Friday 5 pm to 6 pm. The data were collected pre, mid and post testswere conducted initial and middle and end of training periods. After the training, the collected data were analyzed by applying the one way repeated measures (ANOVA) test. If obtained �F� was significant new mans kuel test was used to significant difference treatment means pre, mid and post means. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to determine the significant difference among the three groups. If obtained �F� was significant Scheffe�s post hoc test will be used. In all thecases 0.05 was fixed level of confidence. The results of the study shows that there is significant improvement in vital capacity, cardio respiratory endurance due to effect of preparatory training in forward position, mid field position and defender position inter collegiate football players.
