Abstract :
Sports training aims at achieving high performance in sports competitions. It is a process which is spread over a long period of time and a competition-cum-performance oriented endeavour as well. Plyometrics is a type of exercise training designed to produce fast, powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system, generally for the purpose of improving performance in sports. The main purpose of the study was to find out the effect of varied intensity of plyometric training on leg explosive power (horizontal and vertical distance) of college men players. To achieve this purpose, sixty volley ball players studying in college were randomly selected as subjects, Age ranged from 18 to 25 years. The selected subjects were divided into four equal groups of fifteen subjects each at random. Pre and Post test scores are collected for vertical and standing broad jump. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant differences.
