Effect of Twelve Weeks Plyometric Training Programme on Selected Lung Parametres among Women Football Players

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of plyometric training on selected lung parameters variables among football players. It was hypothesized that there would have been a significant effect of plyometric training on selected lung parameters variables among football players. For the present study 30 women University football players from Thiruvalluvar University, Vellore, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 21 years. 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’ underwent no training. The variables such as vital capacity, slow vital capacity and fast vital capacity were assessed by spirometer. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training and analyzed by applying Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA). The level of significance was set at 0.05. Significant effect of plyometric training was found on vital capacity, slow vital capacity and fast vital capacity.
