Effects Of Plyometric Training On Improving Motor Skills Fitness Of Men Baskatball Project Players

Abstract

Background; The research has taken place on effects of plyometric training on improving motor skills fitness of men football project in case of Nunu Kumba. Study Purpose: The main objective of this study was to investigate effects of plyometric training on improving motor skills men football project in case of Nunu. The study was being carried out for two consecutive months. In the beginning of the first months pretest was taken and in second month the posttest test was administered. For this study 24 male players were selected from football project of Nunu Kumba. Materials and methods. In this study the true-experimental research design was applied, by using pre-test and post-test with quantitative approach, because the researcher want to established possible effect between dependent and independent variable during plyometric training. The pre, during and posttest on selected motor skill -related physical fitness parameters was administered for the selected subject. The primary data were obtained from experimental variables according to the designed parameters. The participation in the study test was based on voluntary basis and their healthy fitness for vertical long jump, agility (Illinois agility) and speed test. The lengths of time were required to record every activity of tests for each participant. Data obtained from the tests and measurements was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and Paired t-test was used to observe the difference from pre to Post test results.  Results. The finding revealed that post explosive power test better than pre explosive power test in standing long jump. From the finding it is possible to conclude that polymeric training has an effect on enhancing explosive power in standing long jump. The results of the test illustrated that in post agility test performance in agility (Illinois agility in sec) were improved by mean values of 2.1109 due to polymeric training exercise of players. Plyometric training also significantly improved the explosive jumping ability of the participants. This improvement was due to the plyometric training they participated in. From the results of post speed test score improved with respect to pre speed test by average mean score of 0.5679 sec. Based on average score of speed test researchers concluded that polymeric training has a positive effect on speed football players of Nunu Kumba football project. Paired samples test of speed test was measured to compare the performance of players before and after plyometric exercise. From the results researchers drawn important points of recommendations, coaches need guide and educate on the importance and value of plyometric training programs to achieve the physical fitness and soccer skill performances football players of Nunu Kumba football project. Coaches need to encourage using in their training session to produce professional female soccer players. Efforts should be taken to popularize the benefits of plyometric training exercises among male soccer players, which, in turn would make the nation to produce skillful and physically fit players.
