Abstract:
The primary purposes of the study were used to assess effects of Circuit and plyometric
Training on Explosive Power of Fiche Town U-17 male football project trainees. For this study
30 project trainees (age 16-17) were selected by census method and to assigned participants
into Circuit training group and plyometric training group simple random (lottery method) were
used. The study design was experimental research design with pre, during and posttest
independently in both groups and they participated in low, moderate and high intensity of
selected physical exercise for 8 consecutive weeks, frequency of 3 days per week 50 minute
duration per session. Pre, during and Post Test were conducted on Explosive power
assessments variables such as Vertical jump test, Standing long jump test and Margaria-
Kalamen power Test. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 26 software package.
Independent sample T- test was used to determine whether there is a statistically significant
difference between both groups and the Level of significance was at 0.05. According to finding
of the study, the significance difference between the groups (p>0.05) on pre training test in all
Explosive power assessments variables were non-significant. But on during and Post Test
(p<0.05) in all Explosive power assessments variables which were significant. Based on the
result and findings, Circuit Training Group show more improvement in Explosive Power than
Plyometric Training Group because of the way to design training. This implies that, the way to
design the training session for Circuit training group was in Circuit manner on different station
followed by short period rest time between stations and for Plyometric training group exercise
were given with random organization(by coach need), because of this change was crop up
between those group. The result of this study indicates that 8 week circuit and plyometric
training have a positive effect on improving these parameters of explosive power variables, but
Circuit Training Groups were gain more explosive power than Plyometric training Group of U-
17 male football project trainees. For producing powerful football players the concerning body
must include circuit training techniques for power development on main training session.
