Abstract
Background and Aim: Modern lifestyles and sports evolution highlight the need for advanced training to counter stress and enhance performance, particularly in volleyball, which demands explosive power, agility and flexibility. The study aims to investigate 12 weeks combined effects of suspension (using TRX-like systems for bodyweight resistance) with plyometric training (explosive jumps and bounds) significantly improves these variables in school level volleyball players.
Methods and Materials: To achieve this study Thirty male volleyball players aged between 16 to 18 years from Thondamuthur Government School, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The subjects are total N=30, divided into experimental n=15 and control n=15 groups. The experimental group training of 60 minutes, 3 days/week for 12 weeks (progressing 60-80% intensity), with suspension exercises (e.g., planks, rows) and plyometrics (e.g., depth jumps); controls did routine activities. Data analyzed dependent t-tests at p<0.05.
Results: Experimental group showed significant improvements (t>2.20, p<0.05): agility (17.25s to 14.79s), leg explosive power (2.63 to 2.68), flexibility.
Conclusions: The combined effects of suspension with plyometric training program significantly enhanced bio motor variables such as agility, leg explosive power, and flexibility among school-level volleyball players. The experimental group demonstrated considerably greater improvement in the bio motor variables compared to the control group of school level volleyball players.
Keywords: Suspension with Plyometric Training, Volleyball, Bio motor Variables.
