Abstract: In modern football, performance is influenced not only by sport-specific training but also by diversified training approaches aimed at enhancing neuromuscular coordination and movement adaptability. Trans-sport training, which involves integrating elements from other sports into structured football training, has gained attention for its potential to improve agility, balance, and ball-handling skills. However, limited empirical evidence exists regarding its effectiveness among collegiate football players in Rajasthan.

The present study aimed to examine the effect of a six-week trans-sport training program on agility and ball control among collegiate football players. A total of 30 players were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The experimental group underwent trans-sport training in addition to regular football practice, while the control group followed conventional training only. Agility was measured using the Illinois Agility Test, and ball control was assessed through a standardized dribbling test. Pre-test and post-test data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests.

The findings indicated significant improvements in agility and ball control among the experimental group compared to the control group. The study suggests that incorporating trans-sport training methods may enhance performance-related attributes in collegiate football players.
