Fourteen male sports person between the age group of 25-28 were selected through purposive random sampling technique from Government degree college pattan, baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir. Experimental design was applied in which the subjects were tested twice i.e. pre-test and post –test was conducted and recorded. Subjects were divided into two groups i.e. Experimental and Control group. Training of plyometric training was imparted for twelve weeks followed by post test. Training program was not given to Control Group. Take-off distance, touch-down distance and take-off and touch-down timings were measured by measuring tape and stop watch. The results of the investigation showed insignificant difference in all variables except touch-down timings. Suggesting that plyometric training can be used as effective tool for the hurdlers. Level of significance was tested at 0.05 level.
