Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of plyometric training on selected physical fitness variables among the school boys. To achieve the purpose of the present study, forty school boys from Lake Montfort School, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 15 to 17 years. The subjects were divided into two equal groups of twenty each. Group I acted as Experimental Group I (Plyometric training) and Group II acted as Control Group. Before and after twelve weeks of training period data were collected and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was computed to test the treatment effect of the training programmes on all the variables used in the study. It was observed that the twelve weeks of plyometric training have significant improvement on leg explosive power and arm explosive power of school boys.
