Abstract
This study intends to evaluate the impact of
soccer-specific training, with and without interval training, on Anaerobic
power and VO2 max in female soccer players. Consequently, 45 female football players
aged 18 to 23 from Annamalai University in Chidambaram, Cuddalore District,
Tamil Nadu, participated in the study. The training period was limited to 10 weeks.
Anaerobic power and VO2max, the selected dependent variables, were assessed
before to and during the training program use a running-based anaerobic power
test and the Cooper test. Subjects selected at random were categorised into
three groups: two experimental groups and one control group. Group one
participated in soccerspecific training, group two engaged in soccer-specific
training combined with interval training, while group three acted as the
control group. The soccer-specific training included skills-based exercises and
particular motions such as brief sprints, leaps, and agility drills. The
interval training included runs of 30, 50, 100, 150, 300, and 500 meters at
varying intensities. The starting intensity was established at 75% and
subsequently increased by 5% biweekly. The individuals traversed these
distances at their optimal relaxed pace and with the specified intensity.
Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was utilised as a statistical method to
determine if a significant difference existed between the pretest and post-test
data of the selected dependent variable. The paired mean differences were
calculated using Scheffe's post hoc test where the adjusted post-test 'F' ratio
was significant. The established significance threshold was P≥ 0.05. The
results indicated that substantial gains occurred due to both training
sessions. The SSTG group exhibited percentage improvements of 1.44 and 2.31,
whereas the CTG demonstrated enhancements of 2.31 and 3.54 in anaerobic power
and VO2max, respectively. The calculated F ratios were 7.91 for anaerobic power
and 28.38 for VO2max, respectively.
