Authors
Abstract
The study was designed to investigate the effect of plyometric training and plyometric
training with mind training on volleying skill among college level volleyball players. For this
30volleyball players were selected randomly from college of Kerala as subjects. Their age
ranged from 18 to 25 years. They were divided into three equal groups namely control group
Experimental Group II, and Experimental Group III. 3 days in a week, the Experimental
Group
II underwent plyometric training, Experimental Group III underwent plyometric training with
mind training and Group-I control group was not given any specific training. The following
criterion variable was chosen, namely spikingskill. It was assessed before and after the
training period of 12 weeks. The analysis of covariance was used to determine any significant
difference present among the three groups of the dependent variables. The study revealed that
the selected skill performance variables (Spikingskill) were significantly improved due to the
influence of plyometric training and plyometric training with mind training on college level
volleyball players.
