Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Volleyball is a multi directional sport where the players need to move quickly and swiftly on volleyball court. Since the game is point-oriented, the player hits the ball in a fast pace between each other for gaining a point, the team who lets the ball down offers a point to opponent. AIM OF THE STUDY: An experimental study to compare the effects of Pilates, Callisthenics and Plyometric training on physical performance of volleyball players. OBJECTIVES: 1. To study the effects of Pilates training in improvement of physical performance in volleyball players. 2. To study the effects of Callisthenics training in improvement of physical performance in volleyball players. 3. To study the effects of Plyometric training in improvement of physical performance in volleyball players. 4. To compare the effects of Pilates, Callisthenics and Plyometrics in improving physical performance of volleyball players. METHODOLOGY: STUDY DESIGN: Pre test – Post test Experimental study design. STUDY SETTING: The study was conducted in K.G Campus, Saravanampatti, Coimbatore. STUDY DURATION: The study was conducted over a period of six months. FREQUENCY: once a day, 30 minutes per session. DURATION : six weeks. STUDY SAMPLING: The sample size was determined based on a pilot study 15 participants were divided randomly into three equal parts, and the main part of the study was conducted on them. The mean and SD for the parameters for this pilot study with = 0.05 and 90% power were used to calculate the sample size of N = 45. (N= 45), (n=15 each group). All 45 subjects who satisfied inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and assigned into three groups by using random sampling method as 15 under each group. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF SUBJECTS: INCLUSION CRITERIA: • Healthy active collegiate volleyball Players who have been participating in game for atleast 1 year. • Only male players. • Age group 18-25 years. • BMI of 18-24 was included. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: • Any injury within 1 months. • Psychologically unstable. • Female players not included. • Subjects with neurological problems. • Subjects with musculoskeletal and neurological abnormalities. • Players not willing to participate. CONCLUSION: The purpose of this study is to find the effects of Pilates, Callisthenics and Plyometrics and to compare the effects of the above training techniques in sports fitness components like sprint, agility, flexibility and power in collegiate volleyball players. Sprint was measured by flying 30m sprint test, Agility test done using Illinois agility test, Flexibility measured using Sit and reach test and Power was measured by using Vertical jump test 45 subjects who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken and divided into three Groups of equal numbers using simple random sampling method. Three groups underwent Pilates, Callisthenics and Plyometric training correspondingly. The study rejects the null hypothesis and therefore suggests that there is a significant improvement in Plyometric training for agility and power comparing with other two techniques, whereas Pilates improves flexibility on comparing with other two techniques. The study also accepts the null hypothesis and therefore suggests that there is no significant difference between all the three groups in sprinting component.
