The effect of six weeks plyometric training on anaerobic power among Taekwondo players and fencers

Nowadays, coaches were concerned to the plyometric as an effective way to strengthen the functions in fast and explosive athletes The aim of the present study, compared the effects of six weeks of plyometric training on anaerobic power of the lower extremities is the taekwondo and fencing Players. The statistical population this quasi-experimental study are taekwondo and fencing girls in Tabriz in 2013 years, of which 7 taekwondo and 7 fencer were selected by available sampling and were divided into two experimental groups. Both group for six weeks (three days per week) did plyometric exercises. For the analyze data used from the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality of data and the correlated two-way ANOVA test to examine the assumptions. The statistical results showed that plyometric training significantly increase the explosive power of lower extremity. There is no significant difference between taekwondo and fencing in effect of plyometric training on anaerobic power. It is concluded that plyometric exercises as a method of low-cost training, accomplished and fruitful along with other training methods can be used.
