Effect of two modes of integrative neuromuscular training on explosive power

The purpose of study was to find out the effect of two modes of integrative neuromuscular training on explosive power of school boys. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty school boys from different school trained from Alagappa Sports Foundation at Karaikudi, were selected as subject at random. Their age group range between 11 to 14 years. The study was formulated as pre and posttest random group design, in which thirty subject were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=10, INT) underwent integrative neuromuscular training, the experimental group-2 (n=10, INT-AT) underwent integrative neuromuscular training with aerobic training and group 3 served as a control group (n=10, CG). In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variable. The explosive power was selected as dependent variable. It was measured by vertical jump. The selected two treatment groups were performed five days in a week for the period of six weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The nature of power was tested before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of analysis of co-variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean difference of three groups. The Scheffe's post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significant was fixed. The nature of the explosive power better in INT combined with aerobic training than the INT group.
