Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of interval training on agility, speed and core
strengthfor football player students of Mena secondary school. Thirty football players were
selected as subjects. The selected subjects were divided into two groups of fifteen each (n=15). The
ages of the subjects ranged from 18 to 19 years. The experimental group was high intensity interval
training group, and a control group. Initial test on 35 meter run, Illinois agility and plank test was
conducted for all the groups and the performance was recorded for these groups. The experimental
group was administered for twelve weeks training. The control group was not given any treatment.
After 12 weeks the final test was taken on 35 meter run, Illinois agility and plank test for
experimental group and control group. The collected data was statistically analyzed by using SSPS
Version. The result of the study was interval training group was significant improvement in
compared to the control group.The schedule of training was three days per week (Monday,
Wednesday and Friday)for three Months(October, November and December2022).The study
wasExperimental study. Pre &Posttest measurements were taken from trainees before & after the
experimental period of three months. The results of both control and experimental group was
analyzed and putted in the form of mean and standard deviation.The result indicated that the pre
and posttest ofcontrol group students wasas low. Butthe results of pre and posttest ofexperimental
group students was good. The three parameters (Agility, Speed and Core Strength)of the
studentshad significantly improved through interval training. The result concluded interval
training methods was good for improvement of agility, speed and core strength of the students.
