Cloistered and coalesce effect of power yoga and plyometric training on selected physical variable among tribal taekwondo players

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the Cloistered and Coalesce effect of Power Yoga and Plyometric Training on selected Physical variable among Tribal Taekwondo Players. To achieve this purpose, sixty (N=60) girls Tribal Taekwondo players studying various schools in Kerala. Their age ranged from 14 to 16 years. The subjects were assigned at random into four groups of fifteen in each (n=15). Group-I underwent Power Yoga, Group-II underwent Plyometric Training, Group-III underwent Coalesce Power Yoga and Plyometric Training and Group –IV was as the Control group. Speed was selected as dependent variable and it was assessed by 50 Meters Sprint test. The data collected from the four groups prior to and immediately after the training programme on the selected criterion variables were statistically analyzed with Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Whenever the ‘F’ ratio for adjusted post test means was found to be significant, Scheffe’s test was followed, as a post hoc test to determine which of the paired mean differences was significant. In all the cases .05 level of confidence was fixed. The experimental groups namely, power yoga, plyometric training and coalesce power yoga and plyometric training had significantly improved in speed.
