Pankaj Singh Bisht, Haritri Bisht, Dr. Shyamal Koley
Abstract: Objectives: Football is a popular team game worldwide. In the present study, an attempt has been made to compare the efficacy of the basic resistance training and plyometric training in high school football players of Dehradun. Methods: The study was based on conveniently selected 30 high school football players aged 14 - 18 years of Govt. Senior Secondary School, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. The players were randomly allocated into two groups with 15 players in each group. The players of Group - 1 were given basic resistance training and players of Group - 2 were given plyometric training. Results: The findings of the present study showed that for 1RM quadriceps, 1RM hamstrings, standing vertical jump and kicking distance in baseline, 2 and 4 weeks after intervention, statistically significant intra - group differences (p<0.000) were found in the players of both Group - 1 and 2. When inter - group comparisons were made between the players of Group - 1 and 2 for the four variables studied, statistically significant differences (p< 0.000) were found (except standing vertical jump) between them. Conclusion: It might be concluded from the findings of the study, that both the basic resistance training and plyometric training were significantly effective in improving the power in high school football players, albeit, basic resistance training was found to be statistically more effective in improving the 1RM quadriceps, 1RM hamstrings and kicking distance in the high school football players as compared to plyometric training.
