Abstract: The purpose of study was to find out the effect of concurrent neuromuscular training and football game practice on speed. To achieve this purpose of the study, forty five school boys’ students from Alagappa Physical Fitness Academy, Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu during the year 2021-2022 were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the subjects ranged between 11 and 12 years. The study was formulated as pre and posttest random group design, in which forty five subjects were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=15, NMTbFGP) underwent neuromuscular training before football game practice, the experimental group-2 (n=15, NMTaFGP) underwent neuromuscular training after football game practice and group 3 served as control group (n=15, CG) did not undergo any specific training. In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variable, i.e., neuromuscular training before football game practice and neuromuscular training after football game practice. The speed was selected as dependent variable and it tested by 50 meters run; the performance was recorded in seconds. The selected two treatment group’s namely neuromuscular training before football game practice and neuromuscular training after football game practice were performed five days in a week for the period of six weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The speed was tested before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of one-way analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA), for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups with respect to speed. The Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups with speed. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed in this study.
