Exploring the impact of plyometric exercises on speed development in handball players from SGBAU, Amravati

AUTHOR(S): Lalit S Sharma
ABSTRACT:
The primary objective of the current investigation is to assess the impact of plyometric exercises on the augmentation of speed among female handball players. The study comprises a sample of 20 participants affiliated with SGBAU, Amravati, Maharashtra. This sample is further divided into two groups: the Experimental Group, consisting of 10 individuals, and the Control Group, also comprising 10 participants. Plyometric exercises, including hopping, bounding, depth jumps, tuck jumps, and pushups, were administered to the Experimental Group on alternate days, totaling three sessions per week. Conversely, the Control Group underwent conventional training over the course of 6 weeks.
Pre-test and post-test evaluations were conducted using a 30-meter run to quantify the speed of both the Experimental and Control Groups. The outcomes of this study reveal a noticeable improvement in the speed performance of the Experimental Group following the implementation of plyometric training. In contrast, the Control Group exhibited a decline in speed performance.
Conclusively, the findings suggest that plyometric exercises contribute significantly to the enhancement of speed among female handball players. This underscores the efficacy of incorporating plyometric training methodologies to foster improvements in the athletic capabilities of handball athletes.
