“…Several previous investigations have failed to find that plyometric training is significantly more effective than other training methods in improving the vertical jumping ability (11,14,17,23,26). Plyometric training alone, as has been shown by this study and others carried out by authors such as Blattner & Noble (8) and Bosco (10), can also have a significant effect in increasing hip and thigh power that is measured by the vertical jump.…”

The Purpose of the study was to find out the comparative effect of Plyometric and weight training on vertical jumping ability. For the present study 24 male students from Department of Physical Education, BHU Varanasi were selected randomly as the subjects for the study. The age of the subjects ranged between 18 -21 years. The variables selected for the present study were Plyometric and weight training (independent variable), vertical jumping ability (dependent variable). For the study pre test -post test randomized group design, which consists of control group (08 students) and two experimental groups (16 students) were used. The data were collected through the pre test, before training and post test, after six weeks of Plyometric and weight training. To find out the comparative effect of Plyometric and Weight Training on vertical jumping ability of the subjects the pre test and post test scores were analyzed by using Descriptive analysis, Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) and LSD test were used, the data analyzed with the help of SPSS (16.0 version) software and the level of significance was set at 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the study showed that there was significant difference between pre and post test (experimental group) of Jump & Reach and Approach Jump & Reach. Significant difference was found between adjusted means of Plyometric training and control group, weight training and control group in relation to jump and reach performance (p< 0.05). In relation to approach jump and reach performance significant difference was found between adjusted means of Plyometric training and control group, weight training and control group since the p< 0.05. On the basis of findings of the study it may be considered that Plyometric training could be very much useful method of training for sportsman to improve vertical jumping ability and to retain the same for a longer duration.

“…Despite the hundreds of human studies that investigated the effects of this kind of exercises on vertical jumping performance and running velocity, the vast majority of them have performed to adults (Fatouros et al, 2012;Ford et al, 1983). Few studies have accomplished to prepubertal boys (Kotzamanidis, 2006;Lehance et al, 2006).…”

Michailidis, Y. (2015). Effect of plyometric training on athletic performance in preadolescent soccer players. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 10(1), pp.15-23. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of plyometric training on performance of preadolescent soccer players. 21 players assigned to two groups: jumping-group (JG, n = 11) and control-group (CG, n = 10). Training program was performed for 10 weeks. Anaerobic power performances were assessed by using standing long jump (SLJ), 10 m and 30 m sprint. In the JG the performance at the long jump was increased significantly (P = 0.031). Also the performance of JG increased at 30m sprint running by 7.2 % (P < 0.001). None of the variables tested in the CG demonstrated difference between the pre-test and the post-test. Our results indicate that plyometric training can improve running performance at 30 m sprint and the performance at standing long jump in preadolescent soccer players.

“…This is followed immediately by a jump in which the athlete tries to attain maximum height or distance (the concentric muscle action component) (6,7). Plyometric training is most frequently completed using body weight rather than a mechanical load to provide the resistance, although weights can be attached to the athlete to increase the resistance (4,13,18,19). Weighted implements, such as medicine balls, can also be used for training the upper extremities (9,14).…”

“…Plyometric exercises have been added to a typical training program, such as weight training or team practices, and then compared with the typical program (2,3,8,10,11,13,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Alternately, a distinct plyometric program has been compared with a distinct nonplyometric program (1,4,14,22).…”

The purpose of this study was to compare dynamic pushup (DPU) and plyometric push-up (PPU) training programs on 2 criterion measures: (a) the distance achieved on a sitting, 2-handed medicine ball put, and (b) the maximum weight for 1 repetition of a sitting, 2-handed chest press. Thirty-five healthy women completed 18 training sessions over a 6-week period, with training time and repetitions matched for the DPU (n ϭ 17) and PPU (n ϭ 18) groups. Dynamic push-ups were completed from the knees, using a 2-second-up-2-second-down cadence. Plyometric push-ups were also completed from the knees, with the subjects allowing themselves to fall forward onto their hands and then propelling themselves upward and back to the starting position, with 1 push-up completed every 4 seconds. The PPU group experienced significantly greater improvements than the DPU group on the medicine ball put (p ϭ 0.03). There was no significant difference between groups for the chest press, although the PPU group experienced greater increases.Key Words: plyometric exercise, isotonic exercise, strength training, power training Reference Data: Vossen, J.F., J.F.
