Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of the combination of plyometric and specific training with skill training in the development of anaerobic capacity, leg explosive power and over all playing ability of school level volleyball players. Eighty volleyball players from the various schools of Dakshina Kannada in Karnataka were selected as subjects and their age ranged from 14 to 17 years. The subjects were divided into four equal groups. The first group underwent plyometric and specific training with skill training (n=20), the second group underwent plyometric training with skill training (n=20), the third group underwent skill training (n=20) and the fourth group acted as the control group they did not practice any specific training. The selected variables were assessed by the anaerobic capacity (Margariakalamen test), leg explosive power (vertical jump test) and over all playing ability (judges rating test) conducted before and after the 12 weeks of training regimen. The data was analyzed by the analysis of co-variance. The plyometric and specific training with skill training group showed greater improvement in the anaerobic capacity, leg explosive power and overall playing ability than the other three groups of the plyometric training with skill training group, skill training group and control group.
