EFFECT OF PLYOMETRIC TRAINING ON INSULIN AMONG UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL PLAYERS 1

Mr Joji Vargheese, P V Shelvam

Abstract

To achieve this purpose thirty (N = 30) male basketball players were randomly selected from Mar Baselios College of Engg. & Tech., and Mar
Ivanios College, Trivandrum, Kerala, India. . The selected subjects were aged between 18 to 22 years. They were divided into two equal
groups of fifteen each, Group I underwent plyometric training and Group II acted as control that did not participate in any special training apart
from their regular curricular activities. The experimental group underwent twelve weeks for 3 days per week training. The selected criterion
variable insulin to assess Immunoenzymometric Assay method was used. Pre-test data were collected before the training program and post-test
data were collected after the training program. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant differences if any,
between the experimental group and control group on selected criterion variable. In all the cases, 0.05 level of confidence was fixed to test the
significance, which was considered as an appropriate. The result of the present study has revealed that there was a positively improves the
secretion of insulin due to the plyometric training..
