Abstract	In the present study, plyometric training was extended to the male students grouped as novice and trained players of 25 numbers in each group of age group between 18 and 25 years who were studying in various colleges of Bengaluru, Karnataka. The training was given in three alternative sessions per week of one hour per day for 12 weeks. Before and after training, specific motor fitness components like speed, balance, coordination and reaction time were evaluated as per standard field tests. Novice players revealed hikes in speed, balance, coordination and reaction time by 6, 9, 20 and 12 per cent, respectively. Trained players had 5, 8, 14 and 8 percent raise with respect to speed, balance, coordination and reaction time, respectively. On an average, novice players exhibited 17 per cent improvement in their performance whereas 11 per cent was exhibited by trained players as previously they had received continuous training for one hour per day. On the whole, the selected motor fitness tests of both the groups’ novice and trained players revealed significant increase among groups with respect to the parameters after the plyometric training.
