Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of plyometric training and plyometric training with weight training on explosive power. To achieve the purpose of this study, forty five subjects were selected. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 18 to 22 years respectively. They were divided into three groups; each group consisted of fifteen subjects. Group-I underwent plyometric training, group-II underwent plyometric training with weight training and group-III acted as control who does not participate in any training programme. The data collected from the three groups prior to and post experimentation were statistically analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The experimental group had significant improvement on explosive power when comparing to the control group plyometric training with weight training showed better improvement than other two groups.
