Abstract
Soccer is one of the most attractive and pleasant sports, attracting children of all ages to participate. However, at the initial stages, many young players experience fear of injury and frustration due to improper techniques or a lack of fundamental skills (Sharma et al., 2007). In light of this, the present study intended to observe the effect of incorporating metabolic based sports specific skill training (MBSSST) on selected physiological variables among soccer players. A total of 30 soccer players from the various academy in Coimbatore district and aged between 14 to18 years, were selected as participants. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups (n = 15): Group I underwent metabolic based sports specific skill training (MBSSST), while Group II served as the control group (CG). The experimental group participated in the training program three days per week over a period of 8 weeks, whereas the control group maintained their routine daily activities without additional training. Data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test, with the significance level set at 0.05. The findings demonstrated that the MBSSST intervention led to notable improvements in vo2 max and vital capacity performance among the school level boys soccer players. These results suggest that integrating metabolic based spots specific skill training can significantly enhance specific physiological abilities at the school level players. The study was conducted while considering factors such as diet, climate, lifestyle, and prior training experience as limitations. Overall, the findings align with previous research, supporting the conclusion that metabolic based spots specific skill training effectively develops vo2 max and vital capacity in soccer players.
