Agility has been indeed defined as a rapid whole-body movement with change of velocity or direction in response to a stimulus. AIM OF THE STUDY: To compare the effectiveness contrast training and speed agility quickness training on improving agility among elite male football players. OBJECTIVES: 1. To find out the effectiveness of contrast training on improving agility among elite soccer player. 2. To find out the effectiveness of speed agility quickness on improving agility among elite male soccer player. 3. To compare the effectiveness of contrast training and speed agility quickness on improving agility among elite male soccer player. METHODOLOGY: A comparative study with pre and post test evaluation.30 Subjects aged under 19 years were divided into two groups, received contrast training(n1=15)and speed agility quickness training(n2=15). Initially the participants were screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and also tested with Illinois agility test. Then the players underwent contrast training and speed agility quickness programme. RESULT: The study concluded that both the groups significantly improved agility among the elite male football players, but speed agility and quickness programme improved agility efficiently than the contrast training.
