Abstract:
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different intensities of resistance training on speed and speed endurance among soccer players. Sixty male players, aged 18-25, from the East Bengal Football Club, Kolkata, India, were randomly divided into four groups: low, medium, and high-intensity resistance training groups, and a control group. Each group underwent 12-weeks training program. Speed and speed endurance were measured pre- and post-training using a 50-meter dash and beep test, respectively. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed significant improvements in speed and speed endurance in the three experimental groups compared to the control group. Post hoc analysis indicated that high-intensity training yielded the most significant gains in both speed and speed endurance. The findings highlight the effectiveness of structured resistance training in enhancing physical performance in young soccer athletes.
