Abstract


The porpose of this research was to study and compare the effects of plyometric training programs along with weight training on the power and strength of the leg muscles, and to study the relationship between leg muscle power and leg muscle strength. The sample was male rowing athletes affiliated with the National Sport University Chiang Mai Campus. 20 people, divided into experimental and control groups. The research instrument is a plyometric training program coupled with weight training that affects the power and strength of the leg muscles of rowing athletes and the leg muscle power test instrument and the leg muscle strength tester. Perform data analysis by averaging standard deviations. Iterative one-way analysis of variance Statistics are tested in two groups independently and correlation analysis is performed. The results of the research were as follows:


  1. The effects of plyometric training programs coupled with weight training between experimental and control groups It was found that the leg muscle power test results of the experimental group. After weeks 4, 6 and 8 the average was 2333.30, 2540.90, and 2723.30 watts, respectively. Leg muscle strength test results in the experimental group After weeks 4, 6 and 8 the average was 125.90, 136.60 and 141.15 kilograms, respectively.

  2. The results of the comparison of leg muscle power and leg muscle strength between the experimental and control groups It was found that there was no difference between the experimental and control groups before training. After weeks 4, 6 and 8 there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups at .01, with leg muscle power test statistic values of 2.825, 3.951, and 5.975, respectively, and leg muscle strength test statistics of 3.453, 6.403, and 7.736, respectively.

  3. Correlation analysis using Pearson correlation coefficient to test the relationship between leg muscle power and leg muscle strength in the experimental group. After week 4 training, there was a significant correlation at .05 with a correlation coefficient of 0.690, after week 6 training there was a significant correlation at .05 with a correlation coefficient of 0.673, and after week 8 training there was a statistically insignificant correlation, respectively.
