Combined effect of plyometric own body resistance and swiss ball training on selected motor fitness components of school level volleyball players

The purpose of this study was to find out the combined effect of plyometric, own body resistance and Swiss ball training on the selected motor fitness components of school level volleyball players. The investigator selected forty eight (N=48) male volleyball players who represented for their schools from Sri Ramakrishna Mission Vidhyalaya High School and Ranga Swami Naidu Higher Secondary Schools of Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 13 to 15 years. The subjects were divided into two equal groups of twentyfour each. Group-I acted as Experimental Group (Plyometric Own body Resistance and Swiss ball Trainings (POBRSTG). Group-II acted as Control Group (CG). The dependent variables namely leg explosive power and agility were selected and measured by Sargent vertical jump and 4x10yard shuttle run test for this study. The data was analysed by the use of paired ‘t’ test. The obtained ‘t’ ratio was tested for significance at 0.05 level of confidence. The analysis of the data revealed that there was a significant improvement on the selected variables namely leg explosive power and agility by the application of plyometric, own body resistance and Swiss ball training.
