The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of speed training and combination training on Speed Parameters of football players, sixty women college football players were selected as subjects from Thoothukudi District, Tamil Nadu, India. The age of the subjects ranged from 17 to 22 years the selected subjects were divided into three groups of twenty each. Group I underwent speed Training (STG), Group II underwent combination of speed and aerobic training (CTG) were given for three alternate days in a week for a period of twelve weeks. Group III acted as Control Group (CG). The subjects underwent. The speed training, and combination of speed and aerobic trainings, the data collected from the four groups before and after the experimental period The Acceleration speed was measured using 30 m acceleration sprint test, the collected data were statistically examined for significant improvement by dependent 't' test, The initial means and to test the adjusted posttest means for significant differences among the groups, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used. Whenever the 'F' ratio for adjusted posttest means was found to be significant, the Scheffe's test was followed as a post hoc test to determine which of the paired means difference was significant, the result shows that the statistical results showing that there was a significant improvement due to the effect of the STG, CTG on selected variable Acceleration speed when compared to the CG. There would be significant differences on improvement of Acceleration speed among the STG, and CTG and CG and It was concluded that combination of training programs group is better than speed training, and control groups in improving Acceleration speed of women footballers.
