EFFECT OF PARCOURSE TRAINING ON SELECTED STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE PARAMETERS OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of eight weeks of parcourse training in enhancing the strength and endurance parameters. For this purpose 30 football players, aged 18 to 22 years took part in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to either parcourse training (n=15) or control (n=15) group. The training regimen lasted for eight weeks. The selected dependent variables were assessed using standard tests and procedures, before and after the training regimen. Analysis of covariance was used to determine the significant difference existing between pre test and post test on selected dependent variables. These results suggest that parcourse training has the significant influence on improving the selected dependent variables.
