Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to determine influence of plyometric and cycle ergometer training on anaerobic capacity of Sprinters. The subjects were 30 male shot putters of 14 to 18 years of age group from Senior Secondary Schools of Amravati (Maharashtra). The subjects were randomly selected and were assigned to the two experimental groups (Plyometric, Cycle Ergometer) and one control group with 10 subjects in each group. The training was given for a period of 6 weeks. The two experimental groups were trained thrice a week, while the control group continued with their daily routine work. The anaerobic ability was selected for collecting data. The Pre and Post-test were conducted to collect the data. After the collection of data, the t- test was used to identify any significant differences between the groups. An analysis of co-variance was also used to determine significant differences for the anaerobic ability. The LSD Post hoc test was used to identify significant differences between the training programs. The level of significance was 0.05. The finding have shown the significant value of F- ratio's for anaerobic ability of all the experimental groups i.e. plyometric and cycle ergometer training programs as compared with the control group. The plyometric training program proved better than the cycle ergometer training.
