Abstract
To achieve the specific purpose of the study 60 state level male Volleyball players were
selected as subjects from belonged to Gujarat state and they were from varying socio-
economic status. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups (N=30). Group I
underwent plyometric training and Group - II was acted as control group. The plyometric
training was given to the experimental group for 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday and
Friday) for the period of 10 weeks. The control group was not given any sort of training
except their routine work. The physical fitness variables of Speed (50 mts dash), Leg
Explosive Power (Standing Broad Jump), Abdominal Muscular Endurance (Sit-ups) and
Agility (Shuttle Run) before and after training period. The data collected from the subjects
was statistically analysed with‘t’ test to find out significant improvement if any at 0.05 level
of confidence. The result of the speed, leg explosive power, Abdominal Muscular Endurance
and Agilityspeculated significant improvement due to influence of plyometric training with
the limitations of (diet, climate, life style) status and previous training. The result of the
present study coincides findings of the investigation done by different experts in the field of
sports sciences. Plyometric training group significantly improved speed, leg explosive power,
Abdominal Muscular Endurance and Agility college male Volleyball players.
Keywords: plyometric training, speed, leg explosive power,Abdominal Muscular Endurance
