Abstract
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of physical fitness training on selected fitness variables to enhance physical performance of Gamo U-17 male football project trainee’s in Arba Minch Town. For this study experimental design was implemented and purposive sampling technique was used in order to achieve the intended goal. For this study 28 Gamo U-17 male football project players were selected as study sample, who had been fulfilled the health history questionnaire and from those randomly14 were assigned to experimental group and also 14 were assigned to control group with mean age of 16.0 ± 0.37 years old players. The intervention group was engaged in interval training, circuit, polymeric, static, dynamic and ballistic stretching program for 12 consecutive weeks with frequency of 3 days per week for 60 minutes. The physical fitness variables selected for this study was sit and reach test for flexibility, 30m acceleration test for speed and Illinois test for agility. Pre and post tests were conducted to measure the selected variables. PairedSamples T test was used to compare the mean difference between pre and post-tests. The level of significance was set at ≤0.05%. After 12 week training, 30m acceleration and Illinois test mean difference value for experimental group from pre to post-test was decreased by -0.42sec and -0.64sec respectively and sit and reach test was increased by 3.64cm. Correspondingly, the mean value of control group for 30m acceleration And Illinois test was increased and sit and reach test was decreased from pre to post-test. This result indicates that significantly effective change was observed in experimental group than comparison group due to 12 week fitness exercise they engaged in. The finding of this study indicated that effective physical fitness training program has positive effect on improvement of physical performance of football players.
