Circuit training for women footballers affects physical fitness and performance parameters

The purpose of this study was to determine how skill-based circuit training affected the physical fitness and skill performance metrics of female football players. Thirty female football players were chosen from the Bharathiar University department and Nirmala College for Women in Coimbatore in order to fulfil the study's objectives. Their ages varied from eighteen to twenty-five, and they were split into two equal groups of fifteen each. Group II served as the control group while Group I received skill-based circuit training (CG). For a duration of twelve weeks, the experimental group received training on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Other than their usual tasks, the control group received no instruction at all. The individuals' data was statistically examined using the "t" ratio to see whether there had been any meaningful improvement at the 0.05 level of confidence. The findings suggested that the skill-based circuit training, together with the constraints of food, climate, lifestyle, and prior training, had a major positive impact on the women football players' agility and dribbling. The current study's conclusion is consistent with research conducted by other sports science specialists. A skill-based circuit training programme greatly enhanced the dribbling ability and agility of female football players.
