Abstract

In this research eighty football players were selected as samples from colleges under M.G University, Kottayam. And the variables selected were Physical fitness variables-speed and explosive power and Hematological variables-RBC count and Hemoglobin percentage. After employing 12 weeks of isolated and combined plyometrics and weight training for selected subjects who were divided into four groups, a significant difference was observed in all selected variables. There is also significant difference among the groups after applying Scheffe's post hoc test.
