Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate
the effect of game-specific training and plyometric training on specific
physical fitness variables of school –level male handball players. To
accomplish this objective, 30 subjects were randomly selected from Coimbatore
football players, with ages ranging from 15 to 18 years. These selected
subjects were then randomly divided into two groups, each consisting of 15
participants: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group
underwent a regimen of game-specific training and plyometric exercises, while
the control group did not participate in any experimental activities. The
physical fitness variables under examination in this study were agility and leg
explosive power. The research design followed a true random group design,
encompassing both a pre-test and a post-test. All 30 subjects were evenly
assigned to either the experimental group (comprising game-specific training
and plyometric exercises) or the control group. Prior to the six-week experimental
period, pre-tests were administered to assess the selected physiological
variables in all 30 subjects. Subsequently, post-tests were conducted at the
conclusion of the experimental period, and the scores were meticulously
recorded. Statistical analysis was performed with a predetermined level of
significance set at 0.05 confidences. The findings of this study revealed a
significant improvement in agility and leg explosive power among participants
in the game-specific training and plyometric training group.
