Thirty male soccer players aged between 18 and 26 years from Nirmala college in Ernakulam District, Kerala were selected. They were randomly divided into three groups of ten each, out of which group I (n = 10) consisted of SAQ (speed, agility, quickness) training, group II (n = 10) consisted Plyometric training and group III (n = 10) consisted control group. The selected bio-motor abilities were speed endurance and strength endurance. The season of training period was divided into three. The first training season was later pre-season, which consisted of four weeks of training with three days (three sessions) of training and before the training session was a rest day. The second training season was the In-season, which consisted of two weeks with two days (two sessions) of training and before the training session was a rest day. The third training season was in the closed-season, which consisted of two weeks. The subjects of SAQ group and Plyometric group were made to undergo de-training. Pre-test was conducted for all the three groups before giving the training and post-test was conducted after 6 weeks of training. The de-training effect was measured after the two weeks of de-training. The statistical technique used was ANCOVA. The results of the study showed that SAQ training improved speed endurance better than Plyometric training whereas Plyometric training improved strength endurance better than SAQ training after 6 weeks of training programme. The results of the 2 weeks de-training programme showed that there was no significant improvement in speed endurance and strength endurance for both SAQ training and Plyometric training among the male inter-collegiate level footballers.
