Background: Agility is composed of perceptual and decision making factors, as well as change of direction components. It is one of the main determinants of performance in soccer. Literature discusses various physiological pathways involved in variable practice and block practice for learning of a motor task. Thus the aim of the study was to study the effect of variable training v/s repetitive training to improve agility in football players. Method: 40 amateur footballers (18-35 years) without any lower limb injuries were included. Players were assessed for agility by Modified Illinois test (MICODT) and were randomly divided into 2 groups; repetitive(n=20) & variable(n=20). The groups were subjected to the protocols for 6 weeks, thrice a week. The repetitive group was subjected to 4 drills in the same order for all 18 sessions. The variable group was subjected to the 4 drills in a random order at each session. After 6 weeks, the 40 players (20 males,20 females) were re-assessed for their agility by MICODT. Result: Data analysis showed statistical significance in agility of the variable group; pre training (17.684±0.768) and post training (16.845±0.736) with p value 0.0013 but no statistical significance in agility in the repetitive group; pre training (17.66±1.063) and post training (17.457±1.363) with p value 0.5918. There was no statistical significance seen in agility between repetitive training (17.457±1.363) and variable training (16.845±0.736) groups with p value 0.855. Conclusion: Variable training group took lesser time to complete the agility test than repetitive training. However, it was not statistically significant.
