To achieve the purpose of the study 60 intercollegiate male football players were selected as subject at random from in an around the Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh and their age ranged of the subject is between 18 to 23years.The subject was divided into four group namely experimental group A, experimental group B, experimental group C and Control group D. Experimental group A underwent to Continuous running training, experimental group B underwent to Fartlek training, experimental group C underwent to Interval training and group D act as a control group they did not participate in any of the training programme other than their regular activates. The data was collected from four groups’ pre and post of the experimental period. The raw data on speed and coordination was statistically analyzed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Scheffe’s post hoc test was applied to determine the significant differences between the paired adjusted means. In all the cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed. The result of the study showed that there was as significantly improvement was found in speed and Coordination among the experimental group when compared with control group.
