Determining Effect of Plyometric Exercises on Various Motoric Characteristics for Woman Volleyball Players

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of plyometric training on the agility, vertical jump and 20 meter speed testsperformance and volleyball performance of female volleyball players. The study was carried out on 14 female athletes from the13-14 age group of Izmit DSI Sports Club whose sports age was 3.5 ± 0.70 years. Athletes were randomly divided into twogroups as experimental (n=7) and control (n=7). Volleyball-specific technical-tactical trainings and plyometric training programwere applied to the experimental group for 8 weeks, 3 days a week and 90 minutes in scope. The control group continued only90 minutes of volleyball training. Prior to plyometric training, both groups were given agility, vertical jump and 20 meter speedtests as pre- and post-tests. First and last test values of the groups were determined and descriptive statistics were made byusing SPSS 22.0 statistical package program. Wilcoxon test was used to compare the first and last measurements of the groups,and Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the data of the control and experimental groups. According to the dataobtained, when the experimental group first test and last test were compared, it was found that there was a statisticallysignificant increase in vertical jump and illionis agility test results (p0.05). There werestatistically significant differences between the two groups in the comparison of the final measurement values of 20 metersspeed, vertical jump and illinois agility test between the groups (p
