Impact Of High-Intensity Interval Training On Specific Physical Factors Among College Male Football Players

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of high-intensity interval training on specific physical variables among college male football players. To achieve this goal, 30 subjects were randomly chosen from G.T.N Arts College(Autonomous) Dindigul, aged between 18 and 24 years. These selected individuals were then randomly assigned to two groups, each consisting of 15 participants: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group underwent a high-intensity interval training regimen, while the control group did not engage in any experimental activities. The physical fitness variables focused on in this study were agility and muscle strength. The research design followed a true random group design, including both pre-tests and post-tests. All 30 subjects were evenly distributed between the experimental group (comprising the high-intensity interval training group) and the control group. Before the six-week experimental period, pre-tests were administered to assess the selected physical variables in all 30 subjects. Following the experimental period, post-tests were conducted, and the scores were diligently recorded. Statistical analysis was carried out with a predetermined significance level set at 0.05 confidence. The results of this study indicated a significant improvement in agility and muscle strength among participants in the high-intensity interval training group.
