Brief Summary

Athletes need plyometric training as well as endurance training to enhance their speed, strength and agility in the field. Plyometric exercise involves stretching the muscle immediately before making a rapid concentric contraction. The combined action is commonly called a stretch-shortening cycle (SSC). Similar gains of maximal strength have been reported with traditional strength and plyometric training, but the latter approach appears to induce greater gains in muscle power. The combination of balance and muscle strength/power exercises seems to be an appropriate possibility, since both modalities induced adaptation on the neuromuscular level. A blocked combination of balance and muscle strength exercises effectively improve physical performance, and improvements in performance are more pronounced if balance exercises are followed by strength exercises than vice versa.

Study Arms (3)

Combined Plyometric and Endurance Training

EXPERIMENTAL

will receive both below mentioned trainings with alternative timings

Other: Combined Plyometric and Endurance Training

Plyometric Training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

First of all, the training session will be started with a warm-up period of 10min. the athlete will be asked to do gentle warm-up exercises. In the next step of training Counter movement jump for Plyometric training (CMJ will be performed with a squat starting position, that is, knees flexed to 90 ° and hands on hips. From this position, the hockey players will be required to bend their knees to a freely chosen angle and perform a maximal vertical thrust. The hands are held on the hips during the jump to avoid any effect of arm-swinging. Participants will be instructed to keep their body vertical throughout the jump, avoiding undue lateral and frontal movements, and to land with knees fully extended.) The CMJ period will be in 2 rounds each round of 8 min with 4 min break between the rounds. The training session will end with a 10min cooling period. The complete plyometric training session will be of 40mins.

Other: Plyometric Training

Endurance Training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Endurance training will be done on a cycle ergometer. Subjects will initially do six 3-min bouts of exercise with 3-min rest periods between bouts. The bouts will be done at power outputs corresponding to that which require 60 and 80% VO₂ max respectively. After 4 weeks a seventh bout will be added and after 8 weeks an eight bout. After 10 weeks 10 bouts will be done till the end of the training. Each endurance training sub-session will last for 35-45 min.

Other: Endurance training
