Abstract

Plyometric training (PT) is a popular form of physical conditioning among individuals involved in various dynamic sports to improve physical performances. This study focused on analyzing the effect of plyometric training on improving strength, speed, and agility of students following two kinds of plyometric exercise. It was an experimental research using pretest-posttest control group design. A total of 30 students were randomly assigned to three groups: two plyometric training groups of high hurdle jump (HHJ), forward and lateral hurdle jump (FLJ), and one group served as the control (C). Afterward, students in HHJ and FLJ were assigned to respected exercise for five weeks consisted of three sets of each session (total of 16 sessions), with intensity start from 50% to 70%. Pretest and posttest measures were done to obtained data regarding strength, speed, and agility. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 and were presented as mean and standard deviation. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Kruskall-Wallis were done to compare between-groups difference before and after exercise. Results showed that strength, speed, and agility of students in HHJ and FLJ increased significantly (p<0.05) after 16 sessions of training, while those in control group did not show any different. Between-group difference was only found in strength (p=0.000), which were between HHJ-C (p=0.000) and FLJ-C (p=0.002) pairs. Based on these findings, it was concluded that plyometric training was capable to improve strength, speed, and agility performance.
