This study aimed to investigate the effects of the double-pyramid resistance training (DPRT) and the pyramid speed training (PST) on some physiological adaptations of Young elite football players. 30 football players (age 18.31 ± 2.5 years; height 177.2±4.6 cm; weight 74.25 Kg and BF% 14.60±5.03) were randomly divided into three groups of DPRT (n=10), PST (n=10) and control (n=10). The subjects trained for 40 minutes, 3 sessions a week, 8 weeks using two exercise patterns. After assurance the normal data distribution (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test), MANCOVA test and sidak post-hoc test showed significant improvement in body weight, BMI, body fat mass, muscular strength of the lower body, peak power and, average power for DPRT compare to PST and control groups (p≤0.05). On the other hand, the PST group was found to have significantly better results in 30 meters running record, 400 meters running time and, sprint drop compared to the DPRT and control groups (p≤0.05). Muscular endurance and flexibility make more improvements by DPRT and PST compare to control group (p≤0.05). In conclusion, it seems that both training models were suitable for increasing Physiological variables, although the DPRT probably improves the muscular strength and hypertrophy, while PST can be more effective in improvement of the sprint variables of Young elite football players
