Abstract:
The present study was aimed to find out the training effects of aerobic and anaerobic running on cardio vascular endurance among football players. To attain the purpose of this study, thirty six school girl football players were randomly selected as participants from schools in Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu, India. Their age were ranged from 15 to 17 years, who were participated inter school football tournament during the academic year of 2018-2019. The selected participants were randomly divided into three groups such as group ‘I’ underwent aerobic running (n=12), group ‘II’ underwent anaerobic running (n-12) and group III act as control (n=12). Group ‘I’ underwent aerobic running (continuous run) for three alternative days per week and one session per day with the intensity was progressively increased the range from 30% to 40% and volume of work was increased from 30 to 40 minutes for six weeks period. Group ‘II’ underwent anaerobic running (interval run) for three alternative days per week and one session per day with the intensity was progressively increased the range from 40% to 50% and volume of work was increased from 30 to 40 minutes for six weeks period. Group ‘III’ was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The data on selected criterion variable on cardio vascular endurance was measured by 9 mins run/walk test (metres). The collected data were statistically analysed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and when the F ratio of the adjusted post-test mean was found to be significant, Scheffe’s post hoc test was employed to find out the paired mean differences and the significant was fixed at 0.05 level of confident. All the data were analysed by used SPSS-22 version statistical package. It was concluded that the aerobic and anaerobic running groups were significantly improved on cardio vascular endurance when compare than control group and also made significant difference among experimental and control groups.
