Abstract :

The present study was to investigate the effect of Plyometric training and weight training on leg explosive power among college men students. To achieve this purpose of the study sixty (N=45) college men students were selected from Alagappa university college of physical education, Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu state, India, during the year 2018-19. The subject’s age ranges from 17 to 23 years. The selected subject were divided into three equal groups consists of fifteen subject each namely two experimental groups and control group from college students. The experimental group I underwent Plyometric training group (PTG) and experimental group II underwent Weight training group (WTG) programme for six weeks. The control group was not taking part in any exercise during the course of the study. The dependent variable leg explosive power parameter selected for the study, it was measured by cooper standing oad jump unit of meters .Pre-test was taken before the exercise period and post- test was measured immediately after the six weeks exercise period. The data collected from the three groups were statistically analyzed for significance, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used and the F ratio was found out. The Scheffe’s test is applied as post-hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. The level of significance will be fixed at .05 level of confidence for all the cases. These results suggest that both Plyometric training group and weight training group improve leg explosive power compared than the control group.
