These different variations of football are known as football codes. Soccer, commonly known as football is played by more than 250 million players in over 200 countries around the globe. The purpose of the study was find out effect of plyometric training with and without functional training on selected physical fitness physiological and skill performance variables of inter collegiate male football players. To achieve the purpose of the study, The study was delimited to sixty male intercollegiate football players selected randomly from Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh. The age of the subjects were from 18 to 25 years from the academic year 2022-2023. The selected subjects were divided randomly into three groups each group consist of 30 subjects Group I- Core Strength training group (n=30), Group II- Weight training group (n=30) and Group III-Control group (n=30). 4. The study was restricted to elected Physical fitness variables namely Speed. The training period was 14 weeks 3 alternate days per week, one and a half-hour in the evening session. For the pre and post-test randomized control group design was followed for this study. The collected data were statistically analyzed to check whether any significant difference exists. This will be done by applying the dependent ‘t’ test, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Scheffe’s post hoc test. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level. It was found that there was a significant improvement and significant different exist due to the effect of plyometric training and with and without functional training on speed.
