EFFECT OF YOGIC PRACTICE AEROBIC EXERCISE AND SKILL PRESSURE TRAINING ON SELECTED SKILL PERFORMANCE VARIABLES AMONG MEN FOOTBALL PLAYERS

Physical Education

The present study was designed to the effect of yogic practice aerobic exercise and skill pressure training on selected skill performance variables (Dribbling, Passing and Shooting) among men football players. Yogic practice, aerobic exercise and skill pressure training were selected as independent variables for this study. To achieve the purpose of the study, 80 football players studying in the Perunthalaivar Kamarajar Arts College, Puducherry were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged from 18 to 23 years. The selected subjects were randomly assigned to three experimental groups and one control group of twenty (n=20) each for experimental group I (Yogic Practice), experimental group II (Aerobic Exercise), experimental group III (Skill Pressure Training) and group IV (Control). Experimental groups underwent practice for duration of 12 weeks. The control group was asked to refrain from any special training except their regular practice and playing schedule. All the subjects of four groups were tested on selected skill performance variables before and after the treatment. The analyses were carried out through various statistical techniques such as the dependent t-test, the analysis of covariance (one-way ANCOVA). Whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted test was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post-hoc test to find out paired mean difference. In all the cases 0.05 level was fixed as significant level.
