Abstract :
It is generally accepted that the training programme are designed to develop the fitness component for the required sports during off season. The fitness level will be maintained during in-season training protocol. However the improvement in performance is possible with the help of well designed training intervention. The purpose of this study was to find out changes in skill performance after an in-season training programme in volleyball players. Higher secondary volleyball team players 14 in number were selected for this study and their age was ranging from 17 to 19 years. The study was designed to carry out resistance training and plyometric training drills apart from regular practical sessions in the competitive period for about 60 minutes in each training session. Training was given twice a week for 6 week. It was 3-4 sets of 8 – 10 repetition of resistance and plyometric exercise. The skills such as jump service and attack-hit were assessed before and after the six week of training. Jump service was improved to 9.5% and Attack-hit was increased to 18.6%. The finding suggests that the skill performance of volleyball players could be improved during the competitive season by implying a well designed training programme and in turn in may help the players for better performance.
