Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of plyometrics, circuit training and circuit breaker programmes on selected motor components of school level basketball players. For the purpose of the study; four groups: three experimental groups viz: plyometrics training group (A), circuit training group (B), and circuit breaker programme group (C) and the fourth group served as the control group. Random group design was employed. Reliability coefficients for the test- re- test scores on selected motor components: leg power (standing broad jump) 0.99, shoulder and arm power (two hand medicine ball put test) 0.98, muscular endurance (burpee test) 0.99, speed (50 yards dash) 0.98, and agility(right boomerang run) 0.97 were selected to collect the data. To find out the comparative effects of plyometric training, circuit training and circuit breaker programme on selected motor components of school level Basketball players, analysis of covariance was employed, the proposed hypothesis was tested at .05 level of confidence. The result revealed significant improvement in most of the selected motor components. All the three experimental groups were effective in improving the explosive strength of the subjects (leg power, shoulder and arm power). The plyometric and circuit breaker programme groups were comparatively better than the circuit training group in improving the leg power and arm and shoulder power of the subjects.
