ABSTRACT

The present study was undertaken to study and compare the effect of 6 weeks football training, on flexibility. 40 students studying in different schools and colleges of Jabalpur (M.P.) were taken as the subjects for this  study.  The subjects were further assigned into experimental group (N=20) and control group (N=20).  Six weeks football training program for  flexibility was  given to male students of experimental group only. Pre-test and post-test was conducted to measure the flexibility through sit and reach test.  The age of the subjects ranged between 15-20 years. To find out the significance of difference  between pre and post test means scores of the group, meam, SD and ‘t’ test were computed and significance level was set at .01 level.. In overall statistical analysis, it was found that there was significant difference in flexibility component of  as physical fitness in experimental group  and Control group.

Keywords:  Male, Students, Training, flexibility, Groups, Tests.
