| Abstract | ||
| Volleyball is one of the game sports that is characterized with a special training nature which requires a specific training routine that helps in enhancing the performance level of players. The aim of this study was to compare the impact of 3 different training methods “plyometric training, weight training, and their combination” on the vertical jump performance, anaerobic power and muscular strength for female 1st degree volleyball players in Egypt. Based on their training, 52 female 1st degree national championship players were divided into 4 groups after excluding 4 players due to injury at the beginning of performing this research: a plyometric training group (n=13), a weight training group (n=11), a plyometric plus weight training group (n=14), and a control group (n=10). The vertical jump test, the fifty-yard run and maximal leg strength were measured before and after a eight-week training period. Subjects in each of the training groups trained 3 days per week, whereas control subjects did normal training routine. The data was analyzed by a 1-way analysis of variance (repeated-measures design). The results showed that all the training treatments showed significant (P<0.05) improvement in the entire tested variables. However, the combination training group showed signs of improvement in the vertical jump performance, the 50 yard dash, and leg strength that was significantly greater than the improvement in the other 2 training groups (plyometric training and weight training). This study provides support for the use of a combination of traditional weight training and plyometric drills to improve the vertical jumping ability, explosive performance in general and leg strength. | ||
