Abstract:
The Aim of the study was to find out the Effect of Closed and Open Kinetic Chain Weight Training in combination of Plyometric Training on Explosive Strength among Female Sprinters. The investigator randomly selected 90 athletes (n = 90), who competed at inter collegiate level sports meets. They were divided into three groups with thirty subjects each (n = 30) at random again consisting thirty subjects in each group and they were randomly assigned as experimental group I (CKC + P) and Experimental group II (OKC + P) and control group (CG) and Explosive Strength has selected as criterion variable of this study. The experimental groups underwent Closed and Open Kinetic Chain Weight Training in combination of Plyometric Training for eight weeks three days per week and a session on each day. The difference between the pre-test and post-test means were subjected to statistical treatment using ANCOVA, In all cases 0.05 level was fixed to test the hypothesis of the study, which was considered as an appropriate. It was concluded from the result of the study that there was a significant improvement (p ≤ 0.05) due to Closed and Open Kinetic Chain Weight Training in combination of Plyometric Training as compared to control group.
