The intention of the present study was to find out the upshot of bulgarian bag training on core strength and shoulder strength among soccer players. Twenty (20) male soccer players were ranged from aged 21 to 24 years were randomly selected from Inter-department soccer players, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India. They selected subjects have been randomly divided into two equal groups namely Bulgarian bag training Group (BBTG) (N=10) and Control Group (CG) (N=10). Six weeks bulgarian bag training programme has been formulated to see the effectiveness of given training programme on core strength and shoulder strength of soccer players. The core strength and shoulder strength has been tested by ‘plank test and push ups test’ on before the training starts and after completion of six weeks bulgarian bag training programme. Significant improvement occur in core strength and shoulder strength has been found by analysing and comparing the pre-test and post-test score through paired sample ‘t’ test and ANCOVA among the soccer players of BBTG and CG. So this study was concluded that six weeks of bulgarian bag training programme was shown effective in the improvement of core strength and shoulder strength among soccer players. However, the control group had not shown any significant positive changes on core strength and shoulder strength while because they were not engaged to participated in to any specific training programme apart from their routine works.
