The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of different intensity aerobic exercise on selected biomotor performance of university football players. To achieve purpose of this study, 45 football players were selected from Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar, Chidambaram, Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects at random, the age group of the subjects ranged between 18 to 23 years. The subjects were divided into three equal groups of 15 each. Group-I underwent moderate aerobic intensity training, group-II underwent high aerobic intensity training and group-III acted as control subjects, which didn’t participate in any special training apart from their regular activities. The following bio motor variables namely speed and strength performance was selected as criterion variables. All the subjects of three groups were tested on selected dependent variables at prior to and immediately after the training programme. The ANCOVA (analysis of co variance) was used to analyze the significant difference, if any among the groups. The .05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance which was considered as an appropriate. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant improvement on selected biomotor variables such as speed and strength for moderate aerobic intensity training group and high aerobic intensity training group as compared to control group among university men football players.
