cardio vascular endurance among football players
Arumugam S and Sri Suba E
Abstract
The present study was aimed to find out the training effects of aerobic and anaerobic running on cardio
vascular endurance among football players. To attain the purpose of this study, thirty six school girl
football players were randomly selected as participants from schools in Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu,
India. Their age were ranged from 15 to 17 years, who were participated inter school football tournament
during the academic year of 2018-2019. The selected participants were randomly divided into three
groups such as group ‘I’ underwent aerobic running (n=12), group ‘II’ underwent anaerobic running (n-
12) and group III act as control (n=12). Group ‘I’ underwent aerobic running (continuous run) for three
alternative days per week and one session per day with the intensity was progressively increased the
range from 30% to 40% and volume of work was increased from 30 to 40 minutes for six weeks period.
Group ‘II’ underwent anaerobic running (interval run) for three alternative days per week and one session
per day with the intensity was progressively increased the range from 40% to 50% and volume of work
was increased from 30 to 40 minutes for six weeks period. Group ‘III’ was not exposed to any specific
training but they were participated in regular activities. The data on selected criterion variable on cardio
vascular endurance was measured by 9 mins run/walk test (metres). The collected data were statistically
analysed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and when the F ratio of the adjusted post-test
mean was found to be significant, Scheffe’s post hoc test was employed to find out the paired mean
differences and the significant was fixed at 0.05 level of confident. All the data were analysed by used
SPSS-22 version statistical package. It was concluded that the aerobic and anaerobic running groups
were significantly improved on cardio vascular endurance when compare than control group and also
made significant difference among experimental and control groups.

Introduction
Physiological requirements of the football game demand high aerobic and anaerobic capacity,
muscle strength, speed, power, skills, coordination and flexibility for the improvement of
performance and care of injury prevention [1].
The game of Football is that uses both combination of aerobic and anaerobic capacity towards
improvement of player’s performance. Improving VO2max and anaerobic capacity are much
needed for every Football Players [2].
Football is team sport that is played in an outdoor field, and training is mainly based on
movement implementing the endurance qualities consisting of moderate activity alternating
with sprints of intermittent high intensity [3], and is characterized by short duration high speed
runs, jumps, heading and ball disputes are besides other activities such as trots, low speed
running and walk [4]. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) defines aerobic
exercise as any activity that uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously and is
rhythmic in nature [5].
Aerobic capacity of athletes is an important element of success in sports achievements.
Physiologically, it is functional capacity of an organism to increase the level of metabolic
process in keeping with the requirement of physical effort being exposed too. Metabolic
process in this sense means the transformation of chemical energy into mechanical one [6].
Anaerobic exercise has been defined by the ACSM as intense physical activity of very short
duration, fueled by the energy sources within the contracting muscles and independent of the
use of inhaled oxygen as an energy source [7].

Anaerobic training is used to increase strength and power
through intense muscular activity. In soccer, anaerobic
metabolic pathways are utilized during very short bursts of
moderate to intensive effort that can directly determine a
match’s outcome [8].
Slow running over natural terrain. Interval training is a
programme of repeated running with a set of resting full
jogging after each repetition. Continuous training is when an
athlete’s exercise in a steady aerobic way without any pauses
or breaks in between [9].
Sports scientists can, through physiological testing of
performers, analyze these components and use this
information to create individual profiles of participants to
include strengths and weaknesses in relation to other squad
players and previous tests [10].
Cardio vascular endurance is one of the most significant
components of general physical fitness. It may be defined as
the ability of heart and lungs to take in and to transport
adequate amounts oxygen to the working muscles for
activities to be performed over long periods of time [11].
Purpose of the study
The study was to investigate two different training effects
between aerobic running and anaerobic running towards
improving on cardio vascular endurance among girl football
players.
Material and methods
The study was conducted in the Department of Physical
Education and Sports, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University
in February 2019.
The research participants consisted thirty six school girl
football players (n=36, age=15 to 17 years), were randomly
selected as participants from school in Tirunelveli District,
Tamil Nadu, India who were participated inter school football
tournament during the academic year of 2018-2019. The
selected participants were randomly divided into three groups
such as group ‘I’ underwent aerobic running (n=12), group
‘II’ underwent anaerobic running (n-12) and group III act as
control (n=12). The tests were in the in-season phase of
competition and all subjects were clinically tested by healthy
and had no history of recent infection, asthma or cardio
respiratory disorders.
Cardio vascular endurance
Cardio vascular endurance refers to an athlete's ability to
sustain prolonged exercise for minutes, hours, or even days.
Endurance testing is a way to measure the efficiency of an
athlete's circulatory system and respiratory system in
supplying oxygen to the working muscles and support
sustained physical activity.
For collection of data in the variable cardio vascular
endurance, need flat oval or running track, marker cones,
recording sheets, stop watches. Procedure of the test was
explained properly to the subjects. Perform screening of
health risks and obtain informed consent. Also prepare forms
and record basic information such as age, height, body
weight, gender, test conditions.
Test procedure: (9 min run/ walk Test)
The nine-minute walk/run test was conducted to assess cardio
vascular endurance among girl football players. To conduct
the test the following resources needed such as flat oval
running track, marker, stop watches etc. Place markers at set
intervals around the track to aid in measuring the completed
distance. The test requires to run or walk for 9 minutes, and
the total distance covered was recorded. Walking may be
allowed, though participants should try and push themselves
as hard as they can.
Scoring: Measure the distance walked in 9 minutes to the
nearest meter [12].
Aerobic running program
Aerobic running (continuous run) for three alternative days
per week and one session per day with the intensity was
progressively increased the range from 30% to 40% and
volume of work was increased from 30 to 40 minutes per
session for six weeks period without the rest between the
running activity. During the early season the athletes should
have one very long run every 3 days and the workouts should
progress in duration every 2 weeks by 5 minutes.
Anaerobic running program
Anaerobic running (interval run) for three alternative days per
week and one session per day with the intensity was
progressively increased the range from 40% to 50% and
volume of work was increased from 30 to 40 minutes per
session for six weeks period with active rest between the
repetition of running activity. During the early season the
athletes should have one session run every 3 days and the
workouts should progress in duration every 2 weeks.
The data were collected from experimental groups and control
group prior to and immediately after the completion of the
training period on selected variable and it was statistically
examined by applying analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for
find out the significant differences among experimental and
control groups. As all the three groups were selected from the
same population and no attempt were made to equate the
groups on the selected dependent variable initial differences
may exist, and there was a possibility of affecting the post-test
mean. For eliminating any possible influence of pre-test
means the adjusted post-test means of experimental groups
and control group were tested for significance by using
ANCOVA. When the F ratio of the adjusted post-test mean
was found to be significant, Scheffe’s post hoc test was
employed to find out the paired mean difference. All the data
were analyzed using SPSS statistical package. The level of
confidence was fixed at 0.05 level of significance as the
number of subjects was limited and also as the selected
variable might fluctuate due to various extraneous factors.
