Abstract:
The object of this study is to provide information, that would assist the design and implementation of plyometric training, plyometric training combined with weight training programme to improve performance of skill-based variables of native Kabaddi players. To achieve the purpose of the study, forty-five men native Kabaddi players were selected as subjects. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 16 to 18 years, 1.63 to 1.76meters and50 to 65 kilograms respectively. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into three equal groups of 15 subjects each. Group I (P.T) underwent plyometric training, group II (CPW) underwent plyometric training combined with weight training and group III (CG) acted as control. The independent variable in the present study was Plyometric training (PT), Plyometric training Combined with Weight Training (CPW). The dependent variable in the present study was Right hand Grip strength. Based on the pilot study the training schedule for plyometric training and combined plyometric training with weight training with 1rm respectively. The experimental groups underwent their respective training programme 3 days for a week for twelve weeks in addition to their regular life style activities. Intensity starting from low to high at 60-foot contact to at 110-foot contact with10 to 14 repetition and 2 to 3 sets followed from first week to twelve weeks. The data collected from the three groups prior to and post experimentation on selected dependent variable was statistically analysed to find out the significant difference if any, by applying analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Since three groups were involved, whenever the obtained ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post-test means was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. In all the cases level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 for significance. The combined plyometric training with weight training is good enough to develop the skill performances Right hand Grip strength.
