The data collected from the subjects was statistically analyzed with‘t’ ratio to find out significant improvement if any at 0.05 level of confidence. The result speculated that the agility and dribbling of the women footballers improved significantly due to influence of skill-based circuit training with the limitations of (diet, climate, life style) status and previous training.
