Relationship of Physical Fitness Parameters with Performance among the College Level Football Players
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 20
Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this study was to ascertain relationship of physical fitness parameters with performance among college level football players and also to predict football performance on the basis of physical fitness parameters. Methodology: Total two hundred and fifty male football players, aged 18-25 years, from the colleges of Punjab were selected to participate in the study. Body weight of the subjects was measured with a portable weighing machine. Height measurements were taken using the standard anthropometric rod. Power was measured by applying standard test of Standing Broad Jump. Agility was measured by applying standard test of zig-zag run. Strength was measured by applying standard test of Medicine Ball Put. Speed was measured by applying standard test of 50 yard dash. Endurance was measured by applying standard test of 600-yard run-walk. The performance of the college football players was measured with the help of Dr. J.P. Thomas soccer skill test. Results: Karl Pearson’s product moment co-efficient of correlation revealed that the time of the speed (p<0.01), endurance and agility (p<0.01) parameters demonstrated a significantly negative correlation with the performance. The strength ability (p<0.01) and power (p<0.01) showed a significant positive correlation with the football performance. Regression analyses showed that for football performance, 28% of the variance was accounted for by speed, 4% was explained by strength, 1% was explained by agility and an additional 1% of the variance was explained by endurance. Conclusion: In conclusion all the physical fitness components were significantly correlated with football performance and speed was the main predictor of the football performance.
