Author(s): Shantanu Mistri
Abstract: The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of land and aquatic plyometric training on Acceleration. Forty-eight male athletes volunteered as the subjects and they were divided into three groups- Land, Aquatic and Control at random. Land and Aquatic groups were given two days per week plyometric training for 6-weeks. Measurements of 30 m Acceleration run performance was taken at pre and post treatment conditions. Paired t-test and ANCOVA were applied to compare among the groups. Results showed that both the land and aquatic plyometrics significantly improved the acceleration performance (7.75% and 7.46%) of the athletes. But no significant difference was found in between the effects of two different medium training methods on acceleration ability.
