The Effects of Strength Training by Functional Training and Plyometric Training on Strength, Speed and Agility in Soccer Players

Abstract

The objective of this research was to study the effects of strength, functional and plyometric training on muscle strength, speed and agility. In soccer players and developing training styles, functional, training and plyometric models The population used in this research is Football player Loei Rajabhat University team totaled 45 people aged 19-23 years by using the mean of muscle strength as a selection and dividing the sample of 30 people. The sample group was divided into 3 groups of 10 people each using a simple grouping method, namely the control group, the first group doing strength training as a function training and the second group doing plyometric training. The subjects were trained 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The statistics used in this research were mean and standard deviation. Comparisons were performed between groups using One-way ANOVA and pre- and post-test using matched pair t-test at a statistical significance level of 0.05.

            The results showed that when comparing the mean of muscle strength 30 meter running speed and agility Between the groups after 8 weeks of training, the difference was statistically significant at 0.05. And when comparing within the group Before and after 8 weeks of training, the difference was statistically significant at 0.05 level. The results of all three training modes were found to affect the development of muscle strength. 30-meter running speed and agility in soccer players.
