A Comparative Study to analyze the Effect of Resistance Training with Endurance Training Versus Effect of Resistance Training with Breathing Training in High Intensity Performance Capacity of Collegiate Football Players

INTRODUCTION: Soccer is one of the most widely played and complex sports in the world, where players need technical, tactical, and physical skills to succeed. Soccer performance has often focused on technique and tactics at the expense of physical resources such as endurance, strength, and speed. A professional soccer player should ideally be able to maintain a high level of intensity throughout the world game. Speed and power are critical performance factors in soccer. Male soccer players conduct high-intensity actions every 60 to 90 seconds during games, each lasting 2 to 3 seconds on average. OBJECTIVE: 1. To determine the effect of resistance training with endurance training on the high intensity performance level of the collegiate football players. 2. To determine the effect of resistance training with breathing training on the high intensity performance level of the collegiate football players. 3. To systematically compare the effect of resistance training with endurance training versus effect of resistance training with breathing training in high intensity performance capacity of collegiate football players. DESIGN: This study is a pre test and post test experimental design comparative in nature. PARTICIPATION: Thirty subjects aged 19-25 years college football players at college level were selected. The players were trained with resistance, endurance, and breathing training. OUTCOME MEASURES: The outcome was measured using YO-YO endurance performance test and the high intensity performance capacity was measured. RESULTS: Statistical analysis done by using paired ‘t’ test showed that there was significant improvement in subjects who underwent the training with resistance training with endurance training. CONCLUSION: Hence, It is concluded that the players who underwent the resistance training with endurance training had a higher performance capacity when compared to the players who underwent resistance training with breathing training
