Comparison of Aerobic and Anaerobic Power between University Men Football and Hockey Players

The purpose of the study was to compare the aerobic and anaerobic power between university men football and hockey players. To achieve the purpose of this study, thirty male football and thirty male hockey players were selected as subjects from the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Annamalai University and their ages ranged from 19 to 25 years. The criterion variables selected in present study were aerobic and anaerobic power. These were measured using 12 minutes run/walk test and Margaria Kalamen anaerobic power test. To compute the difference between football and hockey players independent t test was calculated. The result showed that there was no significant difference between football and hockey players on aerobic and anaerobic power (p > 0.05). It was concluded that there was no significant difference between football and hockey players in aerobic and anaerobic power. This may due to the fact that, basically football and hockey players having the same qualities aerobic and anaerobic performance. So, the difference may not be achieved between each of them
