Efficacy of Different Endurance Training on Blood Leucocyte Count Among the District Level Football Players of Tripura

Abstract

This study sought to determine how well the Blood Leucocyte Count of district-level football players in Tripura was affected by Fartlek training (FT), Slow Continuous Training (SCT), Combine Endurance Training (CET), and the control group (CG). Specifically, 120 male football players from various regions of Tripura were chosen to participate in the study. An equal number of people (n = 30) were randomly assigned to each of the experimental groups (Fartlek, Slow Continuous, and their combinations, as well as the Controlled Group). Data on physiological reaction, or Blood Leucocyte Count, was obtained using the blood test on venous blood samples that were drawn from a forearm antecubital vein in simple evacuated tubes. The data were analysed using covariance and mean difference. The results of the study show that among football players in the Tripura district, none of the endurance training has significant impact on raising or maintaining Blood Leucocyte Count as that calculated F value (2.59) is smaller than the tabulated F value (2.68). However, Fartlek training has the highest adjusted mean value (6.790) among all the training groups.
