Abstract
The purpose of the study was intended to improve the speed, power and agility of male volleyball players through volleyball specific plyometric training. To achieve the purpose, 30 male volleyball players were selected randomly from Telangana State Social Welfare Residential Junior College, Armoor, Nizamabad, Telangana. The selected subjects were assigned into 2 groups: control group (n=15) and plyometric training group (n=15). The selected subjects were tested before and after twelve weeks of plyometric training on speed, power and agility. The results of the study showed significant improvement on speed, power and agility (p < 0.05). It is concluded that twelve weeks of volleyball specific plyometric training showed improvement of 2.49% in speed, 13.51% on power and 1.93% in agility. This training clearly shows that vertical jump performance show greater improvement than speed and agility. This would significantly improve their spiking and blocking ability by jumping higher and ability to moves quickly in all direction while playing volleyball.
