Abstract
INTRODUCTION : Football is a team sport in which players attempt to score goals by passing and dribbling the ball down the field past opposing defenders and kicking or heading the ball into the goal net, outwitting the defending goalkeepers. This is a sport which involves more of kicking, sprinting and jumping. The nature of the game often claims the athletes’ undertaking intensive repeated sprinting efforts over a relatively prolonged period. It requires greater explosive leg strength and also jumping performance. Football requires many explosive athletes with the players required to kick the ball, jump and also sprint. Strength training plays a very important role in improving the power of the jump and the athletics performance. The strength of the leg muscles in general and vertical jump performance and kicking performance in particular are considered as critical elements for successful athletic performance. The functional stability of the knee joint is entirely dependent on the intact ligament and the effective contraction of the supporting musculature. AIM AND OBJECTIVES : Aim : To study the effect of Basic Resistance Training versus Plyometric Training on strength, power and kicking distance in football players. Objectives: 1. To study the effect of Basic Resistance Training on quadriceps and hamstrings strength in football players. 2. To study the effect of plyometric training on quadriceps and hamstrings strength in football players. 3. To study the effect of Basic Resistance Training and Plyometric Training on power. 4. To study the effect of Basic Resistance Training and Plyometric Training on Kicking Distance. 5. Compare the two methods of training to improve the strength, power and kicking distance. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY : Study type : Experimental. Study design : Comparative study. Study setting : Bharti Vidyalaya High School. Sample Technique : Convenient sampling with random allocations. Sample Size : Total number of subjects in the study, n= 30, aged between 14-18 years. Out of 30, 27 were able to complete the study. Sampling Criteria : Inclusion Criteria : • High School Football Players (Male players). • Football players between the age group of 14-18 years. Exclusion Criteria : • Subjects reporting history of lower extremity injury. • Subjects reporting history of any injury to upper limb. • History of any other musculoskeletal disorders. RESULTS : The results of this study suggest that the neuromuscular characteristics of the lower extremity can be improved with a basic exercise program alone. Additionally, a plyometric program may further be utilized to improve muscular activation patterns. CONCLUSION : This study concludes that Basic Resistance Training is effective in improving the strength of quadriceps and hamstrings muscles in football players. Both the Basic Resistance Training and Plyometric Training are equally effective in improving the power i.e. vertical jump performance in football players. Basic Resistance Training is effective in improving the kicking distance in the football players compared to Plyometric Training.
