Abstract
The purposes of this research were to study and compare the effect of plyometric training on agility of Thai sword players. The samples used in the research were male Thai sword players from the Thailand National Sports University, Krabi Campus between 18-23 years of age. The 30 samples of this study were chosen by simple random sampling method. The instrument used in this research was the nine-square 20 seconds agility test and plyometric training program. The statistics for the data analysis were mean, standard deviation, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the post-hoc multiple comparison using the Fisher’s method (Fisher’s Least Significant Difference: LSD ). The significance level was set at 0.05.
The results showed that the agility mean scores of male Thai sword players before training was rated 37.07 times, and the standard deviation was rated at 1.57. The agility mean scores after 4th week of training was rated 38.68 times, and the standard deviation was rated at 1.55. The agility mean scores after 8th week of training was rate 40.90 times, and the standard deviation was rated at 1.48. There were significant difference of the agility mean scores among before, after 4th week, and after 8th week of training. However, this study also found that, there were significant difference of the agility mean scores between before and after 4th week of training, before and 8th week of training, and 4th week and 8th week of training.
