Abstract :
The purpose of the study was to assess the combined effect of different training modalities on explosive strength of football players. The subjects for present study were 60 male football players between the age of 16 – 20 year of age from Jabalpur, Chinndwara and Tikamgarh (M.P.) those who regularly participate in training and represented their districts in inter district competitions. All the subjects were randomly assigned to three groups (N=20), out of which two group were experimental and one group served as a control group.. Random group design was used to evaluate the effect of different training modalities. The selected subjects were randomly divided into three groups with subjects in each group out of which experimental group-I underwent the plyometeric training. Experimental group II underwent specific training thrice in a week along with two days match practice. Group-III (control group) participated in their regular game for 12 weeks the 80 minutes to 90 minutes training was devoted towards warming up and stretching.
