Abstract

The plyometric training is a very important factor for hockey players for the improvement of maximal speed and it should be included in any conditioning program. The purpose of the present study was to find out the effect of plyometric exercises on speed in Hockey players of L.N.I.P.E, Gwalior. For the purpose of study 40 male hockey players were selected from L.N.I.P.E, Gwalior. The experimental and the control group were consisting of 20 players in each group. Training for eight weeks was given to the experimental group which consists of plyometric exercises on alternate days i.e. three sessions per week and controlled group were given general training. Fifty Meter Run was used for Pre Test and Post Test for both the experimental and controlled group to find out the effect of plyometric exercises for development of Speed. Results of This study shows that due to the plyometric exercise the experimental group has shown vast improvement compare to the controlled group in Pre Test and Post Test results. It was concluded that plyometric training significantly improves the speed of Hockey players.
