Influence of Jump Rope Training on Selected Speed Parameters among U-19 Divisional Horizontal Jumpers

Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to find out the Influence of jump rope training on selected speed parameters among U-19 divisional horizontal jumpers. In order to achieve the purpose of the study 24 under-19 men Madurai division horizontal jumpers (Long jump & Triple jump) were selected randomly and they were equally divided in to two groups of 12 each as experimental and control group. The control group undergone normal routine athletic training and in addition the experimental group undergone jump rope training for one hour in the morning before starting the athletic training. The control group was not given any special training. The period of training was 8 weeks in a schedule of weekly 5 days. The data were collected on the selected variables before and after the training period. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the data. To test the significance 0.05 level of confidence was fixed. Based on the results the study it was concluded that the jump rope training significantly improved the speed parameters among horizontal jumpers.
