摘要：Physical training is a process consisting of a series of physiological stresses that bring about or preserve specific adaptations to enhance a subject's ability to tolerate the stressing factors arising from training. Coaches and sports specialists use different types of training methods and training surfaces to improve performance. There are different types of training methods for the development of performance abilities of football players. Understanding these training methods and the effectiveness of the training methods to suit a particular game and game situations is a challenging task for any coach or player. This helps coaches and athletes prevent injury and overtraining while trying to maximize their performance variables, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses related to their specific training programs. Hence the investigator was interested to find out the effects of football practice with plyometric training on selected performance related variables among footballers. To achieve this purpose of this study, 40 footballers from the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Annamalai University were selected as subjects. The age of the subjects were ranged from 17 to 19 years. The subjects were further classified at random into two equal groups of 20 subjects each namely experimental group and control group. Experimental group underwent football practice with plyometric training for three days per week for twelve weeks and control group underwent football practice only. The selected criterion variables namely dribbling, kick for distance and shooting for accuracy were assessed before and after the training period. The collected data were statistically analyzed by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). From the results of the study it was found that there was a significant improvement in dribbling, kick for distance and shooting for accuracy among the experimental group when compared with the control group.
