Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of Concurrent, Resistance and Plyometric Training on Explosive power among college athletes. For this purpose Forty five (N=40) athletes studying in Department of Physical Education & Sports Sciences, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar, Tamilnadu were selected as subjects during the academic year 2014-2015.  They were randomly divided into four groups of 10 each, Group-I underwent Concurrent Training, Group-II underwent Resistance Training, Group-III underwent Plyometric Training and  Group-IV acted as Control. The Experimental groups underwent the respective training for twelve weeks duration. Among various strength parameters only Explosive strength was selected as a dependent variable, and it was assessed through sergeant Jump test. The data obtained from the experimental groups and control groups before and after the experimental period were statistically analyzed with Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post test means was found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test was applied as post-hoc test to determine the paired mean differences. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05 level for all the cases. Explosive power showed significant difference among the groups, further the results suggested that plyometric training was showed better performance when compare to other experimental and control group.
