Abstract
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of core plyometric training on the development of explosive power of inter collegiate handball players on coach rated handball skills in relation to selected physical fitness variables. To achieve the purpose of the present study 80 handball players were selected from SSM Institutions, Namakkal at random. The selected variable was Explosive Power. The collected data on criterion measures were treated by Standing Broad Jump apparatus, score sheet, sliding marker and measuring scale for Explosive Power. The collected data were statistically analyzed by t ratio, one ways analysis of variance test was applied and the level of significance for the study was 0.05 level. The collected data were statistically analysed by t ratio, one-way analysis of variance test was applied. The level of significance for the study used was 0.05 level. Wherever significant differences were found Schefft’s post-hoc test was used. The results revealed that there was significant difference in the Explosive Power of Handball players. There was significant difference exist in their interaction effect in Explosive Power level among collegiate Handball players.

Keywords: Core training, Plyometric training, Ccollegiate Handball players and Explosive Power.
