Effect of complex training on selected physical variables among intercollegiate volleyball players

This study examined how sophisticated training affected physical factors in Chennai intercollegiate volleyball players. Complex training, which combines resistance training with plyometric and sport-specific drills, boosts explosive power and performance. For this study, 40 Chennai-based intercollegiate male volleyball players aged 18-23 were randomly assigned to 20 experimental and 20 control groups. In an 8-week, three-session complicated training program, the experimental group performed strength-power combinations such squats with vertical jumps, bench press with medicine ball tosses, and lunges with bounding drills. Normal training continued for the control group. Before and after the intervention, explosive power (vertical leap), agility (Illinois agility test), speed (30 m sprint), and muscular strength (1RM test) were measured. Statistics showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in explosive power and agility, which are critical for volleyball. Complex training appears to improve important physical variables in intercollegiate volleyball players and can be systematically integrated into sports performance training programs.
