The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of weight training, plyometric training and combined weight and plyometric training on the selected physical fitness components and kicking ability of soccer players.
For the purpose of the study, 100 male school soccer players of 15 -18 years of age from various schools of Una, Hamirpur and Kangra Districts were randomly selected as the subjects for the study. It was ascertained from the health examination reports maintained by school that all the selected players are medically fit. All the players were randomly assigned to four groups: three experimental groups viz. Weight Training Group (Group A), Plyometric Training Group (Group B) and Combined Weight and Plyometric Training Group (Group C), and the fourth group served as the Control Group (Group D). Each group consisted of 25 soccer players. The different training programmes were assigned randomly to different districts for its proper implementation. Una District soccer players were assigned weight training programme, Kangra District soccer players were assigned plyometric training programme and one group of 25 soccer players of Hamirpur District were assigned combined weight and plyometric training programme and second group of 25 soccer players Hamirpur District were kept in control group.
On the basis of the literature reviewed, experts opinion and scholar's own understanding of the problem, it was hypothesized that significant difference may be found as a result of selected weight training, plyometric training and combined weight and plyometric training on the selected physical fitness and kicking ability of soccer players.
The objective of the present study was:
1. To find out whether there is any significant effect of selected weight training, plyometric training and combined weight and plyometric training on the selected physical fitness and kicking ability of soccer players or not.
2. To find out which training type is better for the development of physical fitness and kicking ability of soccer players.
Based on the literature reviewed, discussion with experts, scholar’s own experience and keeping the feasibility criteria in mind, the following Physical Fitness Components, Strength, Speed, Agility, Cardio-Respiratory Endurance, Balance (Dynamic) were selected and to measure the kicking ability of soccer players Kicking Accuracy and Kicking for Distance were selected for the present study.
Strength was measured with the help of Vertical Jump, Vertical Power Jump and Standing Broad Jump. Speed was measured with the help of 50 Yard Dash Test. Agility was measured with the help of Shuttle Run and SEMO Agility Test. Balance was measured with the help of Modified Bass Dynamic Balance Test. Cardio-Respiratory Endurance will be measured with the help of 600 Yard Run/Walk Test. Whereas Kicking Ability was measured with the help of Kicking Accuracy and Kicking for Distance Tests.
The document discusses a study that examined the effects of sport loading and plyometric training on strength in football players. Forty-five male amateur football players between ages 18-22 were randomly assigned to three groups: a sport loading group, plyometric training group, and control group. The two experimental groups underwent 8 weeks of training 3 days per week while the control group received no additional training. Results showed that both the sport loading and plyometric training groups had significantly greater improvements in leg strength compared to the control group. The study demonstrates that sport loading and plyometric training can effectively increase strength in football players.

EFFECTS OF STRENGTH TRAINING ON SQUAT AND SPRINT PERFORMANCE IN SOCCER PLAYERSFernando Farias
We have demonstrated that a simple in-season strength training program resulted in an improvement in maximal back squat performance, which was reflected in improve- ments in short sprint performance, as identified by a decrease in sprint time over 5, 10, and 20 m, in professional soccer players, in line with the hypotheses. Furthermore, the changes in relative 1RM squat strength demonstrate strong associations with the changes in 5 (r = 0.62), 10 (r = 0.78), and 20-m (r = 0.60) sprint performances.
This study examined the effects of a 6-week isokinetic resistance training program on quadriceps and hamstrings peak torque and standing long jump performance in 12 untrained men. The training consisted of 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 100°/s, 3 days per week for 6 weeks. After training, quadriceps peak torque increased by an average of 10.5% but there was no significant change in hamstrings peak torque or standing long jump performance. The major finding was that gains in isokinetic strength did not translate to improvements in functional performance, likely due to the training lacking eccentric loading which is an important component of the standing long jump.

The document compares pre-season preparation programs in rugby union from two sources. Gamble's program was 13 weeks total with 2 weeks of hypertrophy work, 8 weeks of strength work, and 3 weeks of power work. Corcoran and Bird's program was 20 weeks total with 8 weeks of hypertrophy, 6 weeks of strength, and 6 weeks of power. The document discusses factors like exercise selection and how it relates to mechanical specificity, as well as differences in volume and intensity between strength and power phases.
This study compared the effects of two repeated sprint training interventions on intermittent peak running speed (IPRS) in team sport athletes. Both constant volume training (10 sprints) and linearly increasing volume training (increasing sprints by 2 each week up to 14 sprints) improved IPRS compared to a control group. IPRS improved by 5.2% for constant volume and 3.8% for increasing volume, with no differences between groups. Peak running speed also improved for constant volume but not increasing volume. 300m shuttle performance improved only for increasing volume. Both training interventions improved aspects of intermittent running performance.

Statistical analysis found that footballers had significantly lower body fat percentage and fat mass than cricketers but did not differ significantly in lean mass. Footballers also had significantly lower body fat percentage and fat mass than cricketers as well as significantly higher lean mass. Gymnasts had significantly lower body fat percentage and fat mass than cricketers but did not differ significantly in lean mass. The study concluded that footballers generally had a better body
This study examined the effects of a 6-week plyometric training program on agility among athletes. 28 subjects were randomly assigned to a plyometric training group or a control group. The training group performed plyometric exercises 2 times per week for 6 weeks, while the control group did not train. Both groups were tested on the T-test and Illinois Agility Test before and after the training. The results showed that the training group significantly improved their times on both agility tests after training, while the control group did not improve. This suggests that 6 weeks of plyometric training can effectively improve an athlete's agility.

The macro goals are to develop a reputation as a world-class strength and conditioning coach and create an environment for elite athletes. Meso objectives over 3 years include recruiting high caliber athletes and increasing the group's presence. Micro planning involves developing session plans focused on speed characteristics like acceleration, agility and maximal speed. Components like projection, rhythm and rise will be developed monthly using coaching behaviors like demonstration, cueing and feedback. Individual athlete profiles provide biological, psychological and technical focuses. The framework guides coaching practice, planning and reflection to achieve performance goals.
Off-Season & In-Season Fitness Training for Football (Soccer)Mike Young
This is Dr. Mike Young's slidedeck from his presentation at the Soccer Conference held in Dublin, Ireland at the Sports Surgery Clinic. Dr. Young presents fundamental concepts on fitness training for football and provides guidelines for coaches to follow. Dr. Young is the owner and Director of Performance at Athletic Lab sports performance training center. Previously, he was fitness coach for the NASL champion Carolina Railhawks and the Vancouver Whitecaps of the MLS.
Football is a high-intensity intermittent sport. Although players can cover up to 11km in a game,
most of this is done in short, sharp bursts lasting seconds, and this performance therefore relies on
anaerobic energy, speed and power. Plyometric (jumping) exercises to develop power are used by
sportsmen and sportswomen from myriad sports with success. But can they be applied to football
and combined with traditional approaches?
Physical fitness is important for optimal human development and performance in sports. It enables individuals to cope with physical demands and use technical and tactical skills in their sport. The study compares physical fitness components between inter-university and inter-college female football players in India. Tests were used to measure strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, agility, and other components. Results showed there were no significant differences in arm strength, speed, or endurance between groups. However, significant differences were found in abdominal strength, agility, and power between inter-university and inter-college players. The study provides useful information for coaches on developing components related to performance.

The document compares pre-season preparation programs in rugby union from two sources. Gamble's program was 13 weeks total with 2 weeks of hypertrophy work, 8 weeks of strength work, and 3 weeks of power work. Corcoran and Bird's program was 20 weeks total with 8 weeks of hypertrophy, 6 weeks of strength, and 6 weeks of power. The document discusses factors like exercise selection and how it relates to mechanical specificity, as well as differences in volume and intensity between strength and power phases.
This study compared the effects of two repeated sprint training interventions on intermittent peak running speed (IPRS) in team sport athletes. Both constant volume training (10 sprints) and linearly increasing volume training (increasing sprints by 2 each week up to 14 sprints) improved IPRS compared to a control group. IPRS improved by 5.2% for constant volume and 3.8% for increasing volume, with no differences between groups. Peak running speed also improved for constant volume but not increasing volume. 300m shuttle performance improved only for increasing volume. Both training interventions improved aspects of intermittent running performance.
This document summarizes a study on the body composition of children participating in regular football, cricket, and gymnastics training. The study aimed to compare the anthropometric and body composition status of children in these three sports. Body composition measurements including body fat percentage, fat mass, and lean mass were taken for children in each sport. Statistical analysis found that footballers had significantly lower body fat percentage and fat mass than cricketers but did not differ significantly in lean mass. Footballers also had significantly lower body fat percentage and fat mass than cricketers as well as significantly higher lean mass. Gymnasts had significantly lower body fat percentage and fat mass than cricketers but did not differ significantly in lean mass. The study concluded that footballers generally had a better body
This study examined the effects of a 6-week plyometric training program on agility among athletes. 28 subjects were randomly assigned to a plyometric training group or a control group. The training group performed plyometric exercises 2 times per week for 6 weeks, while the control group did not train. Both groups were tested on the T-test and Illinois Agility Test before and after the training. The results showed that the training group significantly improved their times on both agility tests after training, while the control group did not improve. This suggests that 6 weeks of plyometric training can effectively improve an athlete's agility.

Off-Season & In-Season Fitness Training for Football (Soccer)
Similar to Comparative Study of Weight Training, Plyometric Training and Combined Weight and Plyometric Training on the Selected Physical Fitness and Kicking Ability of Soccer Players
Football is a high-intensity intermittent sport. Although players can cover up to 11km in a game,
most of this is done in short, sharp bursts lasting seconds, and this performance therefore relies on
anaerobic energy, speed and power. Plyometric (jumping) exercises to develop power are used by
sportsmen and sportswomen from myriad sports with success. But can they be applied to football
and combined with traditional approaches?
Physical fitness is important for optimal human development and performance in sports. It enables individuals to cope with physical demands and use technical and tactical skills in their sport.

ACUTE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT WARM UP PROTOCOLS ON.pdfPablo Lorenzo
This study investigated the acute effects of three different warm-up protocols (stretching exercises, plyometric exercises, suspension exercises) on the performance of 20 elite soccer players. The players performed tests measuring static balance, vertical jump, 30m sprint, reaction time, and flexibility before and after each warm-up protocol. The results showed that stretching exercises significantly decreased vertical jump and increased 30m sprint time, while plyometric and suspension exercises significantly increased 30m sprint time without negatively impacting other measures. Suspension exercises may be most beneficial for warm-ups in sports requiring speed and jumping.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

1. Comparative Study of Weight Training, Plyometric Training and Combined Weight and
Plyometric Training on the Selected Physical Fitness and Kicking Ability of Soccer Players.
Dr. Tapan Dutta, Associate Professor, Nagpur Sharirik Shikshan Mahavidyalaya, Nagpur,
Maharashtra.
Mr. Vikesh Sharma, Physical Education Teacher (TGT), Kendriya Vidyalaya, Mukteshwar
Nainital, Utrakhand.
Abstract. The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of weight training, plyometric training
and combined weight and plyometric training on the selected physical fitness components and kicking
ability of soccer players.
For the purpose of the study, 100 male school soccer players of 15 -18 years of age from various schools
of Una, Hamirpur and Kangra Districts were randomly selected as the subjects for the study. It was
ascertained from the health examination reports maintained by school that all the selected players are
medically fit. All the players were randomly assigned to four groups: three experimental groups viz.
Weight Training Group (Group A), Plyometric Training Group (Group B) and Combined Weight and
Plyometric Training Group (Group C), and the fourth group served as the Control Group (Group D).
Each group consisted of 25 soccer players. The different training programmes were assigned randomly
to different districts for its proper implementation. Una District soccer players were assigned weight
training programme, Kangra District soccer players were assigned plyometric training programme and
one group of 25 soccer players of Hamirpur District were assigned combined weight and plyometric
training programme and second group of 25 soccer players Hamirpur District were kept in control
group.
On the basis of the literature reviewed, experts opinion and scholar's own understanding of the
problem, it was hypothesized that significant difference may be found as a result of selected weight
training, plyometric training and combined weight and plyometric training on the selected physical
fitness and kicking ability of soccer players.
The objective of the present study was:
1. To find out whether there is any significant effect of selected weight training, plyometric
training and combined weight and plyometric training on the selected physical fitness and
kicking ability of soccer players or not.
2. To find out which training type is better for the development of physical fitness and kicking
ability of soccer players.
Based on the literature reviewed, discussion with experts, scholar’s own experience and keeping the
feasibility criteria in mind, the following Physical Fitness Components, Strength, Speed, Agility,
Cardio-Respiratory Endurance, Balance (Dynamic) were selected and to measure the kicking ability of
soccer players Kicking Accuracy and Kicking for Distance were selected for the present study.
Strength was measured with the help of Vertical Jump, Vertical Power Jump and Standing Broad Jump.
Speed was measured with the help of 50 Yard Dash Test. Agility was measured with the help of Shuttle
Run and SEMO Agility Test. Balance was measured with the help of Modified Bass Dynamic Balance
Test. Cardio-Respiratory Endurance will be measured with the help of 600 Yard Run/Walk Test.
Whereas Kicking Ability was measured with the help of Kicking Accuracy and Kicking for Distance
Tests.
The design of the study was random group design as the subjects who were selected for the purpose of
the study were selected randomly and then were divided in to four equal groups: three experimental
groups viz. Weight Training Group (Group A), Plyometric Training Group (Group B) and Combined
Weight and Plyometric Training Group (Group C), and the fourth group served as the Control Group
(Group D), which consisted of 25 subjects each. The subjects were administered the initial test which
were followed by 12 weeks of weight training, plyometric training and combined weight and plyometric
training programme and after 12 weeks final scores on the criterion variables were recorded.
In order to find out the comparative effects of selected training programmes on physical fitness
components and kicking ability of soccer player’s, Mean Difference Method (‘t’-ratio) was applied to
find out significant difference if any, between the pre-test and post-test of different forms of training
programme i.e. of weight training programme, plyometric training programme and combined weight
and plyometric training programme, and the fourth group the control group. The level of significance to
test the hypothesis was fixed at 0.05 level of significance. The data were further treated with Analysis of
Covariance to find out the significant difference among the selected training programmes and control
group. All the data were analyzed by the use of (SPSS) Statistical Package for Social Sciences 16.0.
2. Key Words: Weight Training, Plyometric Training.
Introduction:
Sports are a world-wide phenomenon today. In no period of world history were sports as popular,
organized and important as it is today. It has gained immense importance and popularity in recent
times demanding immaculate organization and planning. In fact, it entered a new horizon of sporting
culture, leading to the emergence of sports sciences as the back bone of performance sports. This
brought into sharp focus the training process as the means of development of sports performance. With
the increasing prestige being attached to winning of medals in international competitions, it is quite
natural to give more stress on talent – identification and to systematize the training methodology.
The main aim of modern sports competition is to detect and develop human ability at an early stage of
life and canalize it in the right direction to realize the achievements aimed at in a particular sports or
game.
Weight training is a common type of strength training for developing the strength and size of skeletal muscles.
It uses the force of gravity (in the form of weighted bars, dumbbells or weight stacks) to oppose the force
generated by muscle through concentric or eccentric contraction. Weight training uses a variety of specialized
equipment to target specific muscle groups and types of movement.
Plyometric is exercise designed to enhance the athlete’s ability to blend speed and strength training. It is in
effect ‘the icing on the cake’. When sound training principles are used, plyometric offers the mechanism by
which an athlete can start quicker, change direction more rapidly, accelerate faster and improve overall
speed.
One of the many benefits of plyometric training is that it can be organized into circuits. By moving
from station to station the athlete can do a variety of exercises that stress either the vertical or linear
components of various movement patterns or both.
Creeks said in connection with the soccer players that professional footballers never go on the field of play
until the trainer is satisfied that their muscle have been warmed either by light exercise or artificial means
such as massage. It is easily to carry out these ideas in first class football, where dressing rooms and trainers
are available but what of the thousand of players whose lot is to stand shivering under the trees. Until the
referee or some late come arrives? How often in ordinary club and school matches, do we see a normally
fast wingers call upon him for a sudden quick dash in the first few minutes, of a game and tear or strain
muscles? What a disappointment to him not to mention to his team mates, to find that he has to hobble his
way painfully through what ought to have been an afternoon of enjoyment. The Indian Soccer is not of
effluents. It is played in less privileged environment. The players don’t find even a proper place near the
ground to warm-up properly before the match. So the rest pause between warm-up end the game is
inevitable.
Therefore realizing the importance of weight training and plyometric training the research scholars
have undertaken the present study.
Methodology:
Subjects: 100 male school soccer players of 15 -18 years of age from various schools of Una, Hamirpur
and Kangra Districts were randomly selected as the subjects for the study.
Definitions: Plyometric: Plyometric is a series of training drills that place the muscles in the Pre-stretched
position before they shortened during concentration.
Weight Training: Weight training is a common type of strength training for
developing the strength and size of skeletal muscles. It uses the force of gravity (in
the form of weighted bars, dumbbells or weight stacks) to oppose the force generated
by muscle through concentric or eccentric contraction. Weight training uses a variety
of specialized equipment to target specific muscle groups and types of movement.
Criterion Measures: The Strength of the soccer players was measured with the help of Vertical
Jump, Vertical Power Jump and Standing Broad Jump. Speed was measured with the help of 50 Yard
Dash Test. Agility was measured with the help of Shuttle Run and SEMO Agility Test. Balance was
measured with the help of Modified Bass Dynamic Balance Test. Cardio-Respiratory Endurance will
be measured with the help of 600 Yard Run/Walk Test. Whereas Kicking Ability was measured with
the help of Kicking Accuracy and Kicking for Distance Tests.

It is learnt from the above Table - 1 that the ‘t’ ratio values for the Pre-Test and Post Test means of
Vertical jump, Vertical power jump, Standing broad jump, Modified bass dynamic balance and Kicking
for distance for Weight Training Group, Plyometric Training Group and Combined Weight and
Plyometric Training Group and the ‘t’ ratio values of 50 yard dash, Shuttle run and SEMO agility for
Plyometric Training Group and Combined Weight and Plyometric Training Group respectively are
found to be significant at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study also reveals that ‘t’ ratio
values for the Pre-Test and Post Test means of 50 yard dash, shuttle run for Weight Training Group and
SEMO agility 600 yard run/walk and Kicking Accuracy for Weight Training Group, Plyometric
Training Group and Combined Weight and Plyometric Training Group are not found to be significant
at 0.05 level of significance. The table also shows that there is no significant improvement in the case
of control group in all the selected physical fitness components.

The findings of the study revealed that in all the selected psychological
parameters such as competitive anxiety, aggression, achievement motivation and self
concept of volleyball players of different level of achievement differs significantly, as
the obtained 'F' value among the groups is greater than the required 'F' value at 0.05
level.

Conclusions.
Within the limitations of the present study and on the basis of findings, the
following conclusions are drawn:
1. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant difference in
competitive anxiety, aggression, achievement motivation and self concept of
volley ball players of different level of achievements.
2. The findings of the study reveals that the District level volleyball players have
shown more competitive anxiety among the three selected groups followed by
State level volleyball players and the least competitive anxiety was shown by
the National level volleyball players.
3. Similarly the findings of the study also reveals that National level volleyball
players were more aggressive among the three selected groups followed by
State level volleyball players and District level volleyball players have shown
least aggression.
4. The findings of the study also reveals that State level volleyball players were highly
motivated in terms of achievement motivation among the three selected groups
followed by National level volleyball players and the least motivated group was that
of District level volleyball players.
5. The finding of the study reveals that National level volleyball players were
superior in self concept dimension i.e. Physical among the three selected
groups followed by State level volleyball players and the District level
volleyball players were found to be inferior among the selected groups.
6. The finding of the study reveals that National level volleyball players were
superior in self concept dimension i.e. Social among the three selected groups
followed by State level volleyball players and the District level volleyball
players were found to be inferior among the selected groups.
8. 7. The finding of the study reveals that National level volleyball players were
superior in self concept dimension i.e. Temperamental among the three
selected groups followed by State level volleyball players and the District
level volleyball players were found to be inferior among the selected groups.
8. The finding of the study reveals that National level volleyball players were
superior in self concept dimension i.e. Education among the three selected
groups followed by State level volleyball players and the District level
volleyball players were found to be inferior among the selected groups.
9. The finding of the study reveals that National level volleyball players were
superior in self concept dimension i.e. Moral among the three selected groups
followed by State level volleyball players and the District level volleyball
players were found to be inferior among the selected groups.
10. The finding of the study reveals that National level volleyball players were
superior in self concept dimension i.e. Intellectual among the three selected
groups followed by State level volleyball players and the District level
volleyball players were found to be inferior among the selected groups.
11. The finding of the study reveals that National level volleyball players were
superior in total self concept dimension among the three selected groups
followed by State level volleyball players and the District level volleyball
players were found to be inferior among the selected groups.
