Study design: Experimental study designObjective: Study was designed to rule out the effect of the plyometric training on athletes.
Summary of background: Goal of the long jumper has to develop the most efficient training technique to maximize performance. Resistance training improves strength but not speed. The plyometric exercises train the fast muscle fibers and the nerves that activate them as well as reflex and hence it is one of the primary tools which enhance both i.e. strength and speed.
Purpose of this study: Find out the effect of PLYT on long jump performance in athletes.
Methodology: 60 long jump players were randomly allocated to group-A (control group-30) and group-B (plyometric training group-30) for 6 week training program. Pre and post training measurements of standing long jump (SLJ) and horizontal long jump (HLT) were taken.
Results: Group-A shows significant difference for pre and post SLJ (t= -10.579. p < 0.01). Group-B shows significant difference for pre and post SLJ (t = -11.989, p < 0.01). Inter group (post-A and post-B) result shows significant difference for SLJ (t=-7.934. p< 0.0001).
Conclusion: Identification of PLYT program as more beneficial and effective than free mobility exercise training program and have positive effect on long jump performance.
