Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of strength and plyometric training on selected skill performance variables of male volleyball players. To achieve the purpose of the present study, (N= 60) male volleyball players were randomly selected from Aksheyaa College of Engineering, Karpagavinayagar Engineering College and ACT College, Kancheepuram District. The subject’s age ranged from 18 to 28 years. For this study the true randomized experimental groups design has been employed with two groups’ namely experimental groups and control group with 20 subjects each. The variables are serving and passing. Russell lange volleyball test was used to measure the serving and passing. The experimental groups underwent strength and plyometric training for the period of twelve weeks. As far as performance variables were passing and serving performance in volleyball and the control group was not given any treatment. The pre and post-test data were collected before and after training period of both experimental groups and control group. The Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to investigate the effect of strength and plyometric training on selected skill performance variables of male volleyball players. The result of twelve weeks strength and plyometric training has significant impact on passing and serving of experimental group compare to control group.
