Abstract:
selected plyometric exercise were important to improve physical fitness components.The
main objective of this study was to examine the effect of selected plyometric exercise on
power, strength and speed, on short distance female athlete trainees. To employ the study, by
simple random sampling technique 22 experimental groups and, 22 control group totals, of 44
female athletes was selected to perform plyometric exercise for three months, three days per a
week. And out of the total number of, 44 female athletes, 8, participants terminate the training
coincidence from both groups due to this study subjects become 36. The Weight and height
average of experimental group and control group were almost all similar that is (48.99kg
±1.94) and (49.36
± 1.84) and, (1.56m±.0231 and 1.55m±.0102) respectively. Before
training, both groups of ,18 athletes has done pre-test ( BJ , SJ of anaerobic power tests, sit
up, wall squat strength tests, and 35m, 60m dash speed tests) and recorded. The selected
plyometric exercise were implemented on the EG three day per week, (60) minutes per a day.
After three months, post test measurement on the same parameters was taken. The difference
between the tests were analyzed statistically, with paired sample t-test at (P<0.05)
Consequently it was observed that selected plyometric exercise implemented on adolescence
brought about significant improvements from pre-test and post test results of power, in which
length and height of BJ and SJ test result were increased by a mean difference of, (4.11 at
P=.000 and 4.27at P=.000) respectively Strength in which duration of sit up and wall squat
strength test result was increased by a mean difference of (8.39 rep/seconds at P=0.000 and
7.83seconds resist at P=0.000) respectively. And. speed, in which duration to complete (35m
and 60m) was decreased by a mean difference of, (0.51seconds at P=0.000 and 1.28seconds
at P=0.000.) According to the result the investigator recommended that adding selected
plyomtric exercise program helps to improve adolescence athlete’s power, speed, and
strength performance.
