About

The football players require a number attributes for excellent performance. These attributes include cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, muscular Endurance, flexibility, agility, Coordination, skill and tactical knowledge. In young male football players, the most important attributes are high levels of skill in passing, shooting, dribbling, and heading. A long-term commitment to endurance training is necessary to reach and maintain a player full physical potential.

Full description

The football players require a number attributes for excellent performance. These attributes include cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, muscular Endurance, flexibility, agility, Coordination, skill and tactical knowledge. In young male football players, the most important attributes are high levels of skill in passing, shooting, dribbling, and heading. A long-term commitment to endurance training is necessary to reach and maintain a player full physical potential.

In sport-specific endurance running on cardiorespiratory fitness endurance, 26 male football players with age group of 16-25 are selected. The participants have never undergone surgery or accident and do not possess any lethal disease. The participants will be allocated into control group with 13 participants and experimental group with 13 participants respectively. The sample will be taken in study setting of Pakistan Sports Board. Control group will follow their daily warm up activities. Interventional group will follow the endurance-based running protocol. Sport-specific endurance-running (duration [in minutes], total distance [in meters], mean speed [in meters per minute], high-speed running >15 km·h-1, and relative high-speed running [>75% and >85% of maximal velocity]) will be given to the experimental group. Athletes will run in excess of 15 km of total distance (TD) and 4 km of high-speed (>15 km·h-1) distance per session 3 to 4 running-based endurance sessions per week for 6 weeks.
