Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of plyometric training with yogic practices on selected physiological variables among volleyball players. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on selected physiological variables due to the effect of plyometric training with yogic practices among volleyball players. For the present study the 30 male volleyball players from Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar College, Usilampatti and Arul Anandar College, Karumathur, Tamilnadu, India 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 with yogic practices 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 experimental group showed better improvement on systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and resting pulse rate among volleyball players than the control group.
