Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the comparison of flywheel and plyometric training on volleyball player’s jumping and agility performance. A total of 20 male participants participated in this study and divided into flywheel training group (n=10) and plyometric training group (n=10), but one participants dropout midway the studies hence only (n=9) participated in the FT Group with age: 20.67 ± 1.00 (FT Group) and 21.50 ± 1.27 (PT Group); weight: 65.91 kg ± 12.32 (FT Group) and 65.91 kg ± 12.32 (PT Group); height: 172.69 cm ± 5.79 (FT Group) and 173.77 cm ± 5.50 (PT Group); years of experience in volleyball: 4.50 ± 3.00 (FT Group) and 5.50 ± 4.30 (PT Group); hours involved in volleyball per week: 7.22 ± 3.11 (FT Group) and 7.90 ± 2.85 (PT Group). A 4-week intervention for both group, where FT Group will undergo flywheel training and PT Group will undergo plyometric training. The subjects were tested on Agility T-Test, Jump Height, Peak Force, and Peak Power. The data analysis shows that, there is a significant improvement for Agility T-Test performance in both FT Group and PT Group respectively (p<0.001). There is significant improvement for jump height (p=0.001) and peak power (p=0.009) in PT Group only. There is no significant improvement in jump height, peak force, and peak power for FT Group. Hence, it was concluded plyometric training is a better training option in general.
