Background:- Football is a physically demanding game where players must execute a range of abilities throughout play and require speed, strength, agility, and quickness. As a result, players must maintain a very high level of fitness to participate and prevent injuries. Objectives:-This study sought to determine the effects of resistance and plyometric training on specific fitness factors in adult university Football players. Methods:- Adult Football players (N = 64) were chosen at random to take part in the study. Participants ranged in age from 19 to 26 years old. A 12-week plyometric and resistance training program was implemented, with two training days and 40 minutes of training per session. These individuals were divided into two groups: Group-A: plyometric training (N = 32) group), Group B (resistance training group with N = 32). Leg strength (leg press), muscular strength endurance (sit-ups test), muscular power (standing long jump), speed (30-meter sprint), and agility (Illinois agility test) were the pre- and post-test considerations. Results:-The participants' improved performance in relation to the chosen fitness variables, as indicated by the "p" values and percentages. Leg press (p < 0.001), sit-ups test (p < 0.001), standing long jump (p < 0.001), 30 M sprinting performance (p < 0.001), and agility (p < 0.001) were the outcomes for the plyometric training group. Opposition training group: 30 M Sprinting Performance (p < 0.001), Leg Press (p < 0.001), Sit-Ups Test (p < 0.001), Standing Long Jump (p = 0.02), Agility (p < 0.001). Resistance and plyometric training have significantly improved performance between the pre- and post-tests. Conclusion:- It was also determined that, in terms of muscle power and speed, the plyometric training group had performed better. The resistance training group had demonstrated increased muscle strength, endurance, and agility.
