Abstract
The purpose
of the present study was to determine effect of plyometric, olympic
lift and their combination on the performance of shot put. The subjects
were 60 male shot putters of 17 to 22 years of age group from
Government Arts and Sports collage stadium, Jalandhar (Punjab). The
subjects were randomly selected and were assigned to the three
experimental groups (Plyometric, Olympic lift and combined Plyometric
and Olympic lift) and one control group with 20 subjects in each group.
The training was given for a period of 6 weeks. The three experimental
groups were trained thrice a week, while the control group continued
with their daily routine work. The performances of shot put were
selected for collecting data. The pre and post test were conducted to
collect the data. After the collection of data, the t- test was used to
identify any significant differences between the groups. An
analysis of co-variance was also used to determine significant
differences for the shot put performance. The LSD Post hoc test was
used to identify significant differences between the training programs.
The level of significance was 0.05. The finding have shown the
significant value of F- ratio's for the performance in shot put for all
the experimental groups i.e. plyometric, Olympic lift and combined
(Plyometric and Olympic lift), training programs as compared with the
control group. The combined training program proved better than the
other methods.
