Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of 12-week plyometric training program on anaerobic power, speed, flexibility and agility for adolescent football players. Methods: 35 football players, 15 of which were in the experimental group and 20 of them were in the control group, participated in the study. Plyometric exercise and technical training have been carried out for the experimental group two days in a week during 12 weeks and only technical training has been implemented for the control group two days in a week. Before and after the exercise program of the experimental subjects, body mass index, anaerobic power, flexibility, 30 m speed, horizontal jump, hexagonal barrier and zig-zag test have been measured. Paired-samples t –test has been used to compare the pretest and posttest values of the experimental subjects and Independent Samples t-test has been used for intergroup comparison. Results: When pretest and posttest values of the experimental group have been compared at the end of the study, a significant difference has been found in anaerobic power, flexibility, 30 m speed, horizontal jump, hexagonal barrier and zig-zag test values (p˂0,01, p˂0,05). In view of the posttest values in intergroup evaluation a significant increase has been found in horizontal jump and anaerobic power (p˂0,01, p˂0,05). Conclusions: It can be stated according to the findings of the study that the 12-week plyometric training program has a positive effect on speed, flexibility, agility and anaerobic power in view of performance.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of Plyometric and weight training on selected physiological variable of football players. Total Sixty (60) male football players were selected as subject randomly who participated in the national level competition from Manipur University, Canchipur. They were divided into three equal groups and designated as experimental group (I), experimental group (II) and control group (III). Plyometric training was given to experimental group (I), Weight training was given to experimental group (II) and even though, the control group was allowed to attain their daily physical activity programme, they were not allowed to participate in the experimental treatment. The groups were administered initial tests on physiological variable. After the initial test, the Plyometric and Weight training were administered to the two experimental groups, where no special training was administered to the control group. The training was administered for the period of twelve (12) weeks, four (4) days in a week in progressive manner. To find out the significance of difference between pre and post – test means " t " test was employed. The level of significant was set at 0.05 levels. To find out the significance of mean difference among pre – test, post-test and adjusted means and analysis of variance techniques were employed.

Effects of Plyometric Training on Speed and Agility among Recreational Football PlayersPlyometrics are exercises that involved the enhancement of muscle performance. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of 6-weeks plyometric training on speed and agility performance among recreational football players. This study was conducted following the pre-post test model of quasi-experimental method. Twenty-two recreational football players were chosen for this study (aged between 19 to 26 years old) and randomly assigned into control (N=11) and intervention group (N=11) for six weeks. Subjects in the control group did not undergo any plyometric training. In contrast, the intervention group performed plyometric training for six weeks. All subjects participated in two tests; 1) Sprint test of 20 m distance for speed performance and; 2) Agility test using Agility T-test for agility performance before (pre) and after (post) training. For the intervention group, significant improvement in the difference of sprint time before and after six weeks of training were discovered (t = 3.76, p = 0.001) when compared to the control group. The agility performance of the intervention group also showed a significant difference when compared to the control group (t = 2.53, p = 0.01). Therefore, this will help players to improve their performance during a football match and prevent injury among recreational football players.
Plyometric training is a very popular form of physical conditioning of healthy individuals that has been extensively studied over the last decades. In this article, we critically review the available literature related to Plyometric training and its effects on physical fitness in team sport athletes. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of plyometric training on selected physical fitness and skill variables of intercollegiate level male football players. Thirty out of players were randomly selected from Sri Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore the selected players were divided into two groups consisting of 15 players. No attempt was made equate the groups. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 to 25 years. The influence of the plyometric exercise was assessed on physical variables. The training load was increased from the maximum working capacity of the subject doing pilot study. The duration of the training period was restricted to six weeks and the number of sessions per week was confined to three. The data obtained from all the groups before and after the experimental period were statistically analyzed by dependent't' test to find out the significant improvement if any, 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to the level of significance between pre and post test means of all groups

The Effect of Six-Week Plyometric Training on Enhancing Sports Performance of Adolescent StudentsNumerous studies have documented that plyometric training is an effective method to improve sports performance. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of six weeks of plyomeytric training on strength, speed, and power. Materials and methods. An experimental study using a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted on 30 Perisai Diri athletes. They were randomly divided into three groups: the plyometric jumping jack (JJ) group, the countermovement jump (CMJ) group, and the tuck jump (TJ) group. The respondents in the TJ and CMJ groups were then assigned to six weeks of exercise consisting of three sets each session (18 sessions in total), with intensities ranging from 60% to 80%. Pretest and posttest were conducted to obtain data on strength and explosive power. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 and presented in mean and standard deviation. Paired sample t-test was performed to compare the differences between the groups before and after the training they were giv...

The purpose of this study was to find out the effectivity of plyometric training to increase leg muscle power in soccer players aged 17-21 years. The approach of the study was quantitative with experimental methods and the design used was pre-test-post-test control group design. The subjects of the study were football players aged 17-21 years, involving 40 Unsika UKM football players; 20 players for the experimental group and 20 players for the control group. The instruments used in this research were: Vertical Jump Test to collect data on power of leg muscles. The data analysis in this study used t-test statistical method to see the effectiveness of the training model. The results of data analysis showed that: 1) Plyometric training model for increasing leg muscle power can be applied in physical training condition of football players aged 17-21 years; 2) The effectivity of test data showed tcount (19.41) > ttable (2.09), it can be concluded that the plyometric training model wa...
