Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of high intensity plyometric training and cross training on the development of motor fitness and physiological variables among men volleyball players. To achieve this purpose of the study, forty five men volleyball players from Madurai district were selected as subjects at random. The age of the subjects ranged from 18 to 21 years. The selected subjects were divided into three equal groups of fifteen subjects each Group I underwent plyometric Training, Group II underwent cross training, Group III acted as control group. The selected criterion variables were assessed using standard tests and procedures, before and after the training schedule. Analysis of co–variance (ANCOVA) was used as a statistical technique to determine the significant difference, if any existing between pre–test and post–test data on selected dependent variables.
