Isolated and Combined Effect of Plyometric and Resistance Training on Anaerobic Power Performance of Male Cricket Players

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of plyometric and resistance training on the anaerobic power production of male cricket players, both individually and in combination. The study's participants were 60 (N=60) male cricket players who attended various universities in Tamil Nadu, India's Pudukkottai District. The four groups of fifteen subjects each were randomly chosen from the subjects (n=15) and included the control group, resistance training, combined resistance and plyometric training, and plyometric training. Ages 18 to 21 ranged for the subjects. Plyometric training, resistance training, combined resistance and plyometric training, and a control group (Group IV) were all performed in the trial. There was similar instruction for the experimental groups. The experimental groups received similar training three days each week for a period of twelve weeks. The Margaria Kalaman Anaerobic Power Test was used to measure the dependent variable, which was anaerobic power. Before and after the trial period, each person underwent anaerobic power testing. Data from the experimental groups was statistically evaluated before and after the experimental period using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). When the 'F' ratio for the adjusted post test means was determined to be significant, the Scheffe's Post hoc test was employed to determine the paired mean differences. The level of confidence was set at 0.05 for each scenario. The experimental groups that had the most improvement in performance were those who engaged in plyometric training, resistance training, and combined plyometric and resistance training.
