Effect of core training on selected health related fitnees variables among college football players

Abstract

The College football players were studied in order to determine what effect core training has on certain physical variables. Twenty-three football players between the ages of 17 and 23 from the Chengalpattu district of Tamil Nadu, India were randomly selected for this study. Each group had fifteen participants. During the eight weeks that Gathering-1 underwent the core training, Gathering-2 acted as a control bunch, undergoing no additional training beyond their regular routine. Muscular strength and abdominal strength were the dependent variables. A sit-up test and a push-up test were used to test abdominal and muscular strength, respectively. The study used random group design pre- and post-tests. Following the training period of eight weeks, the collected data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA. Based on the results of the study on core training, college football players showed improvements in the physical variables.
