Abstract

The present study was designed to determine the skill performance among soccer players in relation to their motor fitness components.Total one hundred (N=100) national level sub junior male soccer players from five northern Indian states; Chandigarh (N=20), Delhi (N=20), Haryana (N=20), Himachal Pradesh (N=20) and Punjab (N=20) were selected to act as subjects for the present study.Skill performance of the soccer players was assessed by using SAI soccer skill test. Motor fitness components; speed, muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, agility and explosive strength were measured by employing 30 yard dash, Sit-Ups Test, 600 Yard Run Test, Shuttle Run Test and Standing Broad Jump Test respectively. Pearson’s product moment correlation method was employed to examine the relationship of skill performance with motor fitness components.Results of the study exp licated significantly negative relationship of skill performance with motor ability components; speed and cardiovascular endurance which indicated betterment in skill performance as lesser the time better the performance in speed and cardiovascular endurance. However, statistically positive significant relationship of skill performance with regard to motor fitness components; muscular strength endurance and motor fitness (composite) was observed among soccer player. However, insignificant relationship was found between skill performance and motor fitness components; agility and explosive strength.
