Abstract
BACKGROUND: In Kabaddi, the specific fitness is needed with reference to strength, sprint and agility, which equip the athlete to face the physiological and psychological challenges that come his way in his competitive sports career. Plyometric training can contribute to improvements in vertical jump performance, acceleration, leg strength, muscular power, increased joint awareness and overall proprioception for kabbadi players. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of Plyometric training on selected motor components in semiprofessional Kabaddi players. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: A total of 30 semi-professional Kabaddi players with an age between 12-20 years were selected by the inclusion criteria were assigned randomly as Group A (n=15) were underwent plyometric training and as Group B (n=15) who did their regular training program. Agility, sprint, explosive power were measured before and after the intervention by agility ‘t’ test, 60m sprint test and sargent jump test respectively. RESULTS: The difference between the two groups (A & B) for agility time (sec) (t = -2.44, p = 0.021 < 0.05) where mean for Group A is 10.31 (SD = 0.67) and that of Group B improvement 11.17 (SD = 1.17), for Sprinting time (sec) (t = -4.59, p = 0.0001 < 0.05), the mean for Group A is 8.63 (SD = 1.08) and that of group B improvement 10.52 (SD = 1.16), for jumping performance (cm) (t = 3.97, p = 0.0004 < 0.05), mean for Group A is 32.27 (SD = 5.77) and that of Group B improvement 24.40 (SD=5.03). CONCLUSION: This study confirmed that the plyometric training is effective training on improving Agility, Sprint and Explosive power in semi-professional kabaddi players, Hence, we conclude that the Plyometric training (Group-A) is more effective in improving Agility, Sprint and Explosive power in semi-professional kabaddi players.
