Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to find out the impact of Plyometric Training Packages with and without resistance training on leg explosive power of Arts College men Basketball players. The study was conducted on thirty men(N=30) basketball players studying at various Arts College affiliated to Bharthidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India, were selected randomly as subjects. Subjects were classified into three groups, namely Plyometric training with Resistance (n = 10) Plyometric training without Resistance (n = 10) and Group III (n=10). The experimental groups underwent respective training for 10 weeks duration Leg explosive power were selected as dependent variable. Leg explosive power was assessed by standing oad jump test. To make adjustments for difference in the initial means and test the adjusted post test means for significant differences, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used. Since three groups were involved whenever the \'F\' ratio was found to be significant for adjusted post means, Scheffe\'s test was followed as a post hoc test to determine which of the paired means difference was significant. The results of the study suggested plyometrtic training with Resistance showed significant difference among the groups.
