Abstract:
This study was designed to investigate the Impact of various small-sided games with and without ball practices on physical variables of women soccer players. To achieve the purpose of this study 90 inter-collegiate women players were randomly selected from Immaculate FC, GSS College for women and, SSS College for women, Chennai. The subjects were randomly assigned into three equal groups (n=30). Group- I underwent various small-sided games with ball practices (SSGWBP), Group – II underwent various small-sided games without ball practices (SSGWOBP) group-III acted as the control group (CG). The training was given to the experimental groups for 5 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and, Saturday) for 12 weeks. The control group was not given any sort of training except their routine work. The physical variables were Explosive power (Standing broad Jump) and Cardio-Respiratory Endurance (9 minutes’ cooper Test). The data collected from the subjects were statistically analyzed with an 'F' ratio to find out significant improvement if any at a 0.05 level of confidence. The result of Explosive power and cardio-respiratory Endurance improved significantly due to the Impact of various small-sided games with and without ball practices, on women soccer players. Limitations of diet, climate, lifestyle status and, previous training.
