Abstract [English]

This study investigates the influence of Self-Resistance Training and Plyometric Training on speed and breath-holding ability among volleyball players. A total of 60 intercollegiate-level volleyball players, aged 19-22, were randomly assigned to three groups: Self-Resistance Training, Plyometric Training, and a Control Group. The study design included pre- and post-testing on two dependent variables: speed (measured via a 30m run) and breath holding time (measured using the nose clip method). The interventions lasted for 12 weeks, with Self-Resistance and Plyometric Training groups undergoing their respective training programs, while the Control Group received no specific intervention.
The results indicated significant improvements in both speed and breath-holding ability for the intervention groups compared to the Control Group. Plyometric Training had a slightly greater effect on speed, while both training modalities led to significant improvements in breath-holding time, with Self-Resistance Training showing slightly better results. However, no significant difference was observed between the two intervention groups in terms of either speed or breath-holding time. In conclusion, both Self-Resistance and Plyometric Training were effective in enhancing speed and breath-holding ability in volleyball players, with minor differences in the magnitude of improvement between the two training methods. These findings suggest the potential for integrating both training strategies to optimize performance in volleyball.
