Abstract

Football and Volleyball are two competitive sports where players must possess a high level of physical fitness in order to execute the tactical and technical skills they have learnt with ease and effectiveness. Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine the strength and agility of semi-professional football and Volleyball players. Objective: To compare Volleyball and football players' strength using the vertical leap test and their agility using the hexagonal agility test. Study design: Comparative study Method: The institute's ethics committee granted its approval, and informed written consent was acquired. The players were vetted based on both inclusion and exclusion standards. 50 male athletes participated in this study, of whom 25 played football and 25 played Volleyball. Two tests were conducted: the vertical leap test for strength and the hexagonal agility test for agility. Result: The independent-t test was employed because the data was normally distributed and was computed using SPSS version 26. Agility is one area where players differ statistically significantly (p=0.01). Strength differences between players are statistically not significant (p=0.14). Conclusion: Players differ from one another in terms of agility. Two sports seem to have different demands, thus recruiting and training should take that into account
