Impact of plyometric training on selected physical fitness variables of college women football players

Abstract

This study was investigated the impact of plyometric training on explosive power on college women players. To achieve the purpose of the study 40 women players were selected from Navarasam College for women. The subjects was randomly assigned to two equal groups (n=20). Group- I underwent plyometric training (PYT) and group - II was acted as control group (CG). The plyometric training was given to the experimental group for 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) for the period of twelve weeks. The control group was not given any sort of training except their routine work. The motor fitness variables of leg explosive power (vertical jump) 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 present plyometric training significantly improved explosive power of college women football players.
