Abstract:
The study was designed to investigate the effect of circuit resistance training and aerobic circuit resistance training on leg explosive power of male football players. 45 football players were selected randomly from affiliated colleges of Thiruvalluvar University, Vellore as subjects. They were divided into two equal groups namely Experimental Group I, II and control group. In a week 5 days the Group - I underwent circuit resistance training, Group - II underwent Aerobic circuit resistance training. Group III acted as control that did not participate in any special training programme apart from their regular activities. Leg explosive power was assessed by vertical jump test before and after the training period of 12 weeks.
