Abstract

The Research investigation aimed to investigate Consequences of heterogeneous intensity levels of plyometric and sprint training on motor fitness and performance in male intercollegiate athletes. Thirty male athletes from a Bangalore university sports program were Arbitrarily assigned to one of three training groups: high intensity plyometric training (HIPT), high intensity sprint training (HIST), or a control group (CG) that did not receive any specific training intervention. The training interventions were Carried out 3 times a week for a duration of eight weeks. Motor fitness variables, including agility, speed, power, and vertical jump height, were assessed pre- and post-training using standardized tests. Performance in sport-specific tasks, such as 40-yard dash and shuttle run, was also evaluated. The results revealed significant improvements in all motor fitness variables and sport-specific performance measures in both the HIPT and HIST groups compared to the CG. However, no Substantial disparities were found between the HIPT and HIST groups. These findings suggest that both high intensity plyometric and sprint training can effectively enhance motor fitness and performance in male intercollegiate athletes. Coaches and trainers should consider incorporating these training modalities into their programs to optimize the athletic potential of their athletes.
