Dr. S. Manikandan

Abstract :

The aim of this research is to find out the effect of circuit training and continuous training on selected endurance parameters such as strength endurance and cardio respiratory endurance among soccer players. For this purpose, randomly selected thirty football players from different departments of Annamalai University were divided into three groups, circuit training group and continuous training group and control group. Statistical analysis of pre and post test means through ANCOVA and Scheffe�s post hoc test proved that there was significant improvement in selected endurance variables, due to circuit training and continuous training. The result of the study shows that there was a significant improvements in strength endurance and cardio respiratory endurance. It was concluded that continuous training can be better utilized for improving endurance variables than circuit training among soccer players.
