Effect of plyometric training and circuit training on speed muscular endurance among men volleyball players

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of plyometric training and circuit training on speed muscular endurance among men volleyball players. Twenty four male volleyball players aged between 18 to 25 years were selected randomly. They were divided into two groups (two experimental and one control group) the experimental group I was given plyometric training and experimental group II was given circuit training for six weeks and control group was not allowed to participate in any training programme. The independent variables is plyometric and circuit training dependent variable is speed, muscular endurance. The speed performance tested by twenty meter dash and muscular strength performance tested by bent knee sit ups and the performance recorded in counts. The collected data on speed and muscular endurance were statistically examined to the ‘t’ test. The ‘t’ ratio was the difference between the mean, standard deviation and standard error of the difference between the means. The results of the study reveals that the plyometric training and circuit training had significantly improved the speed and muscular endurance.
