The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of plyometric training on speed and strength of sedentary college men. It had to tested out on students divided by two groups experimental and control group each consisted of 15 students. It was hypothesized that there would be significant changes in the effect of plyometric training on speed and strength of sedentary college men. The experimental group under went the plyometric training for a period of twelve weeks, whereas the control group did not invole in any strenuous physical activity during the course of study. However both the groups were permitted to go their routine curriculum. The study was formulated as a random group design. The subjects were tested at the beginning (pre-test) and at the end of the experimental period (post-test) was taken after a twelve weeks. With the help of ANCOVA was used for statistical analyzed. The result shows that experimental group showed remarkable increases in the speed and strength than the control group.
