Abstract:
This study aimed to find out the effect of the calisthenics exercises on the vertical high jump on intermediate female volleyball players. 59 volleyball players participated in the study. The Sargent jump test was taken as an outcome measure for assessing the vertical high jump of the players for core and lower limb strength. All the players completed their 4week calisthenics protocol. There was a significant difference between the pre-intervention vertical high jump and the post-intervention vertical high jump. Paired t-test was done to compare the effect of calisthenics exercises on the vertical high jump. It revealed that the mean jump score before calisthenics exercises was 26.26 + 3.98 cm which significantly increased to 30.05 + 4.64 cm after the performance of calisthenics exercises (P<0.0001).
