A comparative study of training effects of complex training with different interval resting between weight training and plyometric training on leg muscular strength and power
Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to compare the effects of complex training with different interval resting between weight training and plyometric training on leg muscular strength and power. Thirty-six male subjects from the School of Sports Science, Chulalongkorn University (age: 18-22 years) were purposively sampled for this study. All subjects initially trained to improve muscular strength for two weeks (Monday and Thursday) by quarter squat weight training exercise. Then, they were divided into three groups (12 per group) based on simple random sampling method. In addition to the regular training program, the first experimental group had to undergo the course of complex training with < 30 second rest interval between weight training and plyometric training. The second experimental group had to undergo the course of complex training with 1-2 minute rest interval between weight training and plyometric training. The third experimental group had to undergo the course of complex training with 3-4 minute rest interval between weight training and plyometric training. The total duration of the intervention was six weeks and all subjects trained twice a week (Monday and Thursday). The data of leg muscular strength, leg muscular explosive power, leg power endurance of all groups were taken at pre and post exercise intervention. The obtained data were analyzed in terms of means and standard deviations, one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were also employed for statistical significant (p < 0.05). Research results after 6 weeks indicated that: 1.There were no significant differences on leg muscular strength (per kg. body weight), leg muscular explosive power and leg power endurance of all experimental groups. 2.All experimental groups significantly increased leg muscular strength (per kg. body weight), leg muscular explosive power and leg power endurance at the conclusion of the study when compared to the pre-experimental data.
