Abstract
Previous studies comparing land-based and aquatic plyometric programs have been completed in varying depths of water (Gehlsen et al., 1984; Gregory, 1986; Prins & Cutner, 1999; Robinson et al., 2004; Tovin et al., 1994). These studies have shown that both shallow-water and deep-water training have benefits depending on the type and goal of training; however, previous studies have not used a predefined water depth to perform aquatic plyometric programs. In addition, training in water too deep might inhibit the stretch reflex and negate plyometric-training benefits. The purpose of the study was to compare effects of chest- and hip-deepwater aquatic plyometrics and land-based plyometrics on power, lower body strength and speed among volleyball players.
Highlights
The purpose of the study the groups and pre and post was to compare effects of data was collected
This study of 8 each : a control group demonstrated that aquatic (land-based plyometrics plyometric training can be one (LBPT), chest deep aquatic effective means for improving
We found that after 10 weeks of plyometric training in the aquatic environment, there were no significant differences in Body fat and endurance measurements pre and posttested within each group
Summary
The purpose of the study was to compare effects of chestand hip-deepwater aquatic plyometrics and land-based plyometrics on power, lower body strength and speed among volleyball players
