Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of plyometric training on physical fitness variables among Tennis players. For the present study 30 male Tennis players from Tuticorin, Tamilnadu were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. For the present study pre test – post test randomized group design which consists of control group and experimental group was used. 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 data was collected before and after six weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying Dependent ‘t’ test to find out the impact of plyometric training programme. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The findings of the present study have strongly indicates that plyometric training of six weeks has significant impact on selected physical fitness variables i.e., Muscular Endurance and Speed of Tennis players. Hence the hypothesis earlier set that plyometric training would have been significant impact on selected physical fitness variables in light of the same the hypothesis is accepted. Significant impact of plyometric training was found on Muscular Endurance and Speed.
