AUTHOR(S): Dr. B Navaneethan
ABSTRACT:Complex training is a workout comprising of a resistance exercise followed by a matched plyometric exercise e.g. squats followed by squat jumps; bench press followed by plyometric press up. To achieve the purpose of the study, ninety six players were selected as samples from the qualified teams of the quarter finals in the Bharathiar University Inter-Collegiate Tournaments. To ensure the quality in selection of samples, as a criterion overall playing ability was considered. The selected subjects (N=80) were divided into four groups equally of which experimental Group I underwent Combination of Resistance Training followed by Plyometric Training in the Same Session (CRTPT), Group II underwent Complex Training of Resistance Training followed by Matched Plyometric Training in the same session (CTRTMPT), Group III underwent Resistance Training for six weeks followed by Complex Training of Resistance Training with Matched Plyometric Training for another six weeks (RTCTRTMPT) and Group IV Control Group (CG) underwent traditional training. The total training duration for each day was one and half hours (90 mints). It included 15 minutes for stretching and warming up, 15 minutes for instruction and cool down and 60 minutes for exclusive complex training. Group I was treated with combination of resistance training followed by plyometric training in the same session for a duration of sixty minutes. First 30 minutes was allotted for resistance training and next 30 minutes for plyometric Training. Analysis of co-variance was applied to determine whether the training programmes produced significantly different improvements in selected variables after 12 weeks of training.
