Impact of Plyometric Training on Selected Motor Ability Component Physiological and Haematological Variables of College Students

Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of plyometric training on selected motor ability componenets, physiological and haematological, variables of college students. The research scholar employed random sample of thirty subjects drawn at random among the college women of Alagappa Arts College karaikudi. Their age ranges from eighteen to twenty five years. They are divided into three equal groups namely control group (Group I) plyometric training with 3days (Group II) plyometric training with 5days (Group III) The Group I control group did not involve any training, the Group II were given plyometric training with 3days frequency. Plyometric training with 5 days frequency ( Group III ).The initial and final results were recorded and the pilot study was conducted. The selected test was measured by the following units of testing the hypothesis.50yards run was used to estimate the speed, measured in seconds. Standing broad jump was used to estimate the explosive power, measured in meters. Digital blood pressure monitor was to used estimate the blood pressure, pulse rate, measured in mmHg per minutes. Visual comparison on sahils acid haematin method was used to estimate the haemoglobin concentration through haemoglobin meter and measured in grams. Buck dilution method was used to estimate the RBC count through haemocytometer neubaucer counting chamber and measured in million per C.mm. The independent variables were plyometric training with 3days frequency and the plyometric training with 5days frequency. ANCOVA and Scheffe’s post hoc test was administered to find out the paired means significant difference. The motor ability components (Speed & Explosive power) and the physiological variables (Blood pressure & pulse rate) and haematological variables (RBC count & haemoglobin concentration) are increased due to the treatment with 5days frequency is better than the 3 days frequency of plyometric training. Hence the hypothesis was accepted on the above said variables.
