The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of metabolic based sports specific training with different stretching on selected physical fitness and specific technical skill among school football players. The selected subjects (N=45) were divided into three equal groups each consisting of 15 (n-15) football ball players. Experimental group I (N=15) underwent Football training with Dynamic Stretching (MBDST), Experimental group -II (N=15) underwent) Football training with Static Stretching (MBSST), and the Group-III (N=15) acted as control group (CG). All the selected subjects were given proper orientation about the purpose of the study, testing and training procedures. The selected subjects were initially tested on criterion variables used in this study and this was considered as the pre-test data and recorded for analysis. The Experimental groups were given respective training for a period of 12 weeks. After twelve weeks of their training program again the subjects were tested on the same criterion variables as such in the pre-test and considered this as the post-test data for the analysis. Agility was assessed by shuttle run test and the unit of measure was in seconds, dribbling was assessed by Mcdonald soccer skill test and unit of measure was in seconds. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation are found in order to get the basic idea of the data distribution “t” test was done for finding whether there is any statistically significant pre-test to post-test mean differences in their respective variables of each groups. ANCOVA tests the significance of “adjusted post-test mean” differences between the experimental and control groups for each variable. Whenever the “F” ratio for adjusted post-test was found to be significant, Scheffee’s post hoc test was applied to test the significant difference between the paired adjusted means.0.05 level of confidence was fixed for agility and dribbling to test the level of significance.
