The Effect of Plyometric Training to Speed of Volleyball Athletes

摘要

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of plyometric training (dynamic and static plyometric training) on the speed of YUSO Sleman athletes. The sample of 18 volleyball athletes divided into two group (dynamic plyometric group and static plyometric group). In addition, speed performance was assessed by a 35-meter speed run test. This study is considered an experimental research design. A paired test was used to define the effects of plyometric training (dynamic and static plyometric training) on a speed of YUSO Sleman athletes. Independent t-test was used to evaluate the different effect of dynamic and static plyometric training. The analysis data result showed that is no significant effect of dynamic plyometric training on speed (p=0,134); no significant effect of statistic plyometric training on speed (p = 0,176), and no significantly different effect of dynamic and statistic plyometric training on speed (p = 0,214). The data result suggests that plyometric training did not effective to improve speed.
