PLYOMETRIC AND SAQ TRAINING'S IMPACT ON PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS SPEED PERFORMANCE

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of plyometric training and SAQ training on speed among physical education students. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on speed due to the effect of plyometric training and SAQ training among physical education students. For the present study the 45 male physical education students from Alagappa University, Karaikudi were selected at random and their age ranged from 18 to 21 years. For the present study pre test - post test random group design which consists of control group and two experimental group was used. The subjects were randomly assigned to three equal groups of fifteen each. Group ‘A’ underwent plyometric training only, group ‘B’ underwent SAQ training only and group ‘C’ have not underwent any training. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying Analysis of Co-Variance and scheffe’s post hoc test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Both the training methods produced similar effect on speed.
