Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of plyometric training on selected motor components among footballers. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on selected motor components due to the effect of plyometric training among college football players. For the present study the 30 male footballers from SBM College of Engineering and Technology, Dindigul, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. For the present study pre test – post test random group design which consists of control group and experimental group was used. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent plyometric training and Group ‘B’ has not undergone any training. The data was collected before and after six weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying dependent ‘t test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The plyometric training had positive impact on speed, muscular endurance, agility and explosive power among footballers.
