Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the Effects of short term Stretching, Plyometric and Resistance Training on selected strength and power parameters of college men sports participants. To achieve the purpose of the present study, forty five physical education students from Department of Physical Education, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore, were randomly selected as subjects and their age ranged from 18 to 25 years. The subjects were divided into three equal groups. Experimental Group I named as Stretching followed by Resistance training (SRTG), Experimental Group II named as Plyometric followed by Resistance training (PRTG) and Group III acted as control group (CG) pre – test was conducted for all the groups on selected variables and the score was recorded in their respective units as pre – test score. After pre – test the experimental group were treated with their respective training for three day per week for a paired of six weeks. After completion of six weeks of training post – test was conducted on selected variables and the score were records in their respective units as post – test score. The pre and post test scores were analysed with analysis of Co – variance and Schaffer s post hoc test. In all the cases.0.5 level of significance was fixed. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference found among the experimental groups. Plyometric and Resistance training (PRTG) Group is found to be better than other groups.
