The Impact of Plyometric Training on Explosive Power and Vertical Jump Performance in Inter-Collegiate Volleyball Players of Gulbarga University, Kalaburagi, Karnataka, India

Abstract Volleyball is a high-intensity sport that requires superior levels of explosive power and vertical jump performance for effective spiking, blocking, and serving. Plyometric training is widely recognized for its ability to enhance neuromuscular efficiency and power output; however, limited research has examined its effectiveness among inter-collegiate volleyball players in under-represented regions of India. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of an eight-week structured plyometric training program on explosive power and vertical jump performance in inter-collegiate volleyball players of Gulbarga University, Kalaburagi, Karnataka, India. A total of 100 volleyball players (50 males and 50 females), aged 18–25 years, participated in an experimental pre-test–post-test design. Explosive power was assessed using standing long jump and triple jump tests, while vertical jump performance was measured using a Vertec device. Paired t-test analysis revealed statistically significant improvements (p < 0.05) in explosive power and vertical jump height following the plyometric training intervention. The findings demonstrate that plyometric training is an effective and practical conditioning strategy for enhancing volleyball-specific performance at the inter-collegiate level. The study provides evidence-based support for integrating structured plyometric training programs into university-level volleyball conditioning practices.
Keywords Plyometric training, Explosive power, Vertical jump performance, Volleyball players, Inter-collegiate athletes, Physical conditioning.
