Effects of low intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training on performance of agility

The purpose of the study was to find out the effects of low Intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training on agility of. To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty School Students of Mokokchung and Zunheboto Districts of Nagaland were selected as subject at random and their age group range between 13to 15 years. The study was formulated as pre and post test random group design, in which thirty players were divided into three equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=10, LI-PT) underwent low intensity plyometric Training, experimental group-2 (n=10, LI-PT-AT) underwent low intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training and group 3 served as control group (n=10, CG) did not undergo any specific training. In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variable, i.e., low intensity plyometric training, and low intensity plyometric training combined with aerobic training. The agility was selected as dependent variable; it was measured by T-test and performance was recorded in seconds. The selected two treatment group's was performed three days in a week for the period of eight weeks, as per the stipulated training program. The performance of agility 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 (ANCOVA), 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 in this study. The results proved that the low intensity plyometric training combined with plyometric training and control group.
