Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of plyometric training combined and resisted sprint training on speed and anaerobic performance. The participants were 26 males with average age at 18.44 years old, who were studying at sport talented school in Lao P.D.R. The participants were divided into two groups; Experimental group and Control group. The experimental group was assigned to train the plyometric training combined with a resisted sprint together with a regular training program, two days per week, for eight weeks, while the control group was assigned to perform a regular training program in the same period. Data were analyzed by using a basic statistic test and One-way repeated measure to compare differences between two groups. Significance level was set at 0.05. The result revealed that after eight weeks of training, the average speed (40 yards sprint) of the experimental group was significantly different from the control group at 4.92 and 5.11 seconds respectively. The anaerobic performance of the experimental group (483.34 watts and 407.81 watts) was significantly different (p<.05) from the control group (419.31 watts and 362.03 watts) in anaerobic power and anaerobic capacity. It could be concluded from the existing data that the plyometric training combined with resisted sprint training could improve speed and anaerobic performance.
