Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of isolated and parallel core strength and mobility training on selected biomotor variables of soccer players. To achieve the purpose of this study forty men soccer players from Acharya Nagarjuna University, Guntur, Andhra Pradeah, India, was selected as subjects and their age ranged from 20 to 25 years and they were divided into four equal groups of ten each (n=10) at random. Experimental group-I underwent core strength training, experimental group-II underwent mobility training and experimental group-III underwent parallel core strength and mobility training and group-IV acted as control. The training regimen lasted for twelve weeks for 3 days per week and 1 session of 90 minutes daily morning. 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 pretest and posttest on selected dependent variables. The analysis of data revealed that twelve weeks of isolated and parallel core strength and mobility training have significantly improved the selected biomotor variables of soccer players.
