Effect of concurrent neuromuscular training and football game practice on anaerobic capacity

The purpose of study was to find out the effect of concurrent neuromuscular training and football game practice on anaerobic capacity. To achieve the purpose of the study, forty five school boys from Alagappa Physical Fitness Academy, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu, were selected as subject at random. Their age group range between 11 to 12 years. The study was formulated as pre and posttest random group design, in which forty five subjects were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=15, NMTbFGP) underwent neuromuscular training before football game practice, the experimental group-2 (n=15, NMT aFGP) underwent neuromuscular training after football game practice and group 3 served as a control group (n=15, CG). In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variable. The anaerobic capacity was selected as dependent variable. It was measured by 300 yard shuttle run. The selected two treatment groups were performed five days in a week for the period of six weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The nature of anaerobic capacity was tested before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of one way analysis of co-variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups. The Scheffe's post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed.
