Assesment of Muscular Endurance Owing to Ladder Training: An Experiment

Abstract

The aim of the research was to investigate the impact of ladder training on football players’ muscle endurance. Thirty football players from Bengaluru,
Karnataka were randomly chosen as subjects, ranging in age from 18 to 21, in order to fulfil the objectives of the current study. Randomly, the subjects were split into two equal groups. Group II served as the control group, and Group I served as the experimental group (training on ladders). Before the study was administered, the subjects were informed of the requirements for the experiment procedures, testing, and exercise schedule in order to gain their full cooperation and the effort required on their part. The experimental period lasted for six weeks. Following the experimental treatment, the thirty participants underwent tests to measure their muscle endurance. To determine the significance of the mean differences, the pre- and post-test scores were statistically analysed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). A fixed 0.05 level of significance was applied to all cases when testing hypotheses.It was observed that the six weeks of experimental group have significantly improved the muscular enduranceof football players.
