Remittances Review
Effect of Plyometric Training Program on Motor Fitness Components and Digging Agility of Male National Volleyball Players of Pakistan
Volume 9 · 2024
Forty-five national-level male volleyball players trained for eight weeks in three groups: plyometrics alone, plyometrics combined with digging-agility drills, and a control group. Both training groups improved, but the combined group gained most across agility, speed, balance, explosive strength and flexibility. The message for a volleyball coach is that plyometric work pays off, and pays off considerably more when it is paired with sport-specific defensive drills rather than done on its own.
