Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of sports specific training on plyometric, speed, speed endurance, strength, strength endurance and agility of inter college men football players. It had to test out on students divided by two groups experimental and control group each consisted of 15 students. It was hypothesized that there would be significant changes in the effect of plyometric training on speed, speed endurance; strength, strength endurance and agility of inter college men football players. The experimental group underwent the plyometric training for a period of twelve weeks, whereas the control group did not invole in any strenuous physical activity during the course of study. However both the groups were permitted to go their routine curriculum. The study was formulated as a random group design. The subjects were tested at the beginning (pre-test) and at the end of the experimental period (post-test) was taken after a twelve weeks. With the help of ANOVA was used for statistical analyzed. The result shows that experimental group showed remarkable increases in the speed, speed endurance, strength, strength endurance and agility than the control group.
