Abstract
The study was designed to investigate the “Response of acceleration speed and multiple speed to maximal power training with plyometrics training on team handball players”. To achieve this purpose forty college level men team handball players were randomly selected from Coimbatore district as subjects. Their age ranged between 18 and 25 years. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups consisting of twenty each. No attempt was made to equate the groups. Experimental group I (n = 20) underwent maximal power training with plyometrics training (MPTWP), for a period of 12 weeks and group II (n = 20) acted as control group (CG), the subjects in control group were not engaged in any training programme other than their regular work. The criterion variables were chosen namely acceleration speed and multiple speed. The dependent variables were assessed before and after the 12 weeks of maximal power training with plyometrics. The collected data on acceleration speed and multiple speed were analyzed by computing mean and standard deviation. In order to find out the significant improvement if any, ‘t’ test was applied. 0.05. The study revealed that the acceleration speed and multiple speed were significantly improved due to the influence of maximal power training with plyometrics training.
