Effects of a moderate intensity plyometric training on selected physiological variables of college level men ball badminton players

Abstract

The aim of present study was the effects of a moderate intensity plyometric training on selected physiological variables of college level men ball badminton players were studied. The subjects for this study were confined from SRM Group of Institutions, Tamil Nadu, India. Their age s ranged from 20 to 25 years. 20 players were selected for experiment group and 20 players were selected for control group. The study was conducted only for men players and the physiological variables of resting heart rate, resting systolic blood pressure, and resting diastolic blood pressure were selected for this study. The mean (M) and the standard deviation (SD) of the collected data were computed. To find out the significance of difference between the two means, the ‘t’ ratio was determined. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level of confidence. Result of the study indicated that the moderate intensity plyometric training programme have shown positive changes on the subjects. The pre-test and post-test comparisons in respect of all the selected physiological variables were positive and significant at 0.05 level of significance.
