Abstract:
Plyometrics are exercises that involve a jumping or explosive movement. For example, skipping, bounding, jumping rope, hopping, lunges, jump squats, and clap push-ups are all examples of plyometric exercises. Resistance Training is any exercise that causes the muscles to contract against an external resistance with the expectation of increases in strength, tone, mass, and endurance. The purpose of the study was forty five Nilgiris District level football players were selected for this study and they were given Plyometric and Resistance training. Pretest was conducted for the subjects in the selected specific skill performance variables. After twelve weeks of plyometric, and resistance training post test data were collected for the variables. To test the significant changes made from the base line to post test due plyometric and resistance training group, ‘t’ test was applied. The significance of the means of the obtained test results was tested at 0.05 level of confidence. The collected data have been processed by using Analysis of covariance to determine, if there was any significant difference among the treatment means of each variable. When “F” ratio showed significant differences between treatment means, Scheffe’s post hoc test was applied to test the significance of difference between the paired means at 0.05 level of confidence. The data was analyzed by using the software SPSS. Practice of the resistance training and plyometric training was significant effective in bring desirable changes in skill performance variables such as dribbling shooting among district level football players.
