Effects of Plymetrics Training and Weight Training on selected Motor Ability Components among University Male Students.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to find out the effects of plyometr ics training and weight training among university male students. Procedure: 60 male students from the different colleges of the Burdwan University were randomly selected as subjects and their age were 19-25 years served as Weight training Group (WTG), second group served as Plyometric Training Group (PTG) and the third group served as Control Gr oup (CT). Eight weeks weight training and six weeks plyometric training were given for experime nt accordingly. The control group was not given any training except of their routine. The selected subjects wer e measured of their motor ability components, speed, endurance, explosive power and agility. ANCOVA was calculation for statistical treatment. Finding: Plyometric training and weight training groups significantly increase s peed, endurance, explosive power and agility. Conclusion: The plyometric training has significantly improved speed, explosive po wer, muscular endurance and agility. The weight training programme has significantly improv ed agility, muscular endurance, and explosive power. The plometric training is superior to weight training in improving explosive power, agility and muscular endurance.
