* Significant at 0.05 level of confidence Table value for df (2, 42) at 0.05 level = 3.22 Table value for df (2, 41) at 0.05 level = 3.23 (Drop off Time scores are in Seconds) Table-1 shows that the pre test mean values of Drop off Time for Plyometric Training, Complex Training and Control group are 3.76, 3.77 and 3.51 respectively. The obtained F-ratio value is 0.11, which is less than the required table value of 3.22 for significance with df 2 and 42 at 0.05 level of confidence. The post test mean values of Drop off Time for Plyometric Training, Complex Training and Control group are 2.81, 3.24 and 3.59 respectively. The obtained F-ratio value is 7.44, which is more than the required table value of 3.22 for significance with df 2 and 42 at 0.05 level of confidence. The adjusted post test mean values of Drop off Time for Plyometric Training, Complex Training and Control group are 2.78, 2.30 and 3.66 respectively. The obtained F-ratio value is 21.17, which is more than the required table value of 3.22 for significance with df 2 and 42 at 0.05 level of confidence. The results of the study indicated that there is a significant difference between the post test means and adjusted post-test means of Plyometric Training group, Complex Training Group and Control group on Drop off Time. Since, three groups are compared and whenever the obtained 'F' ratio for adjusted post test is found to be significant, Scheffe's test is used to find out the paired mean difference and it is presented in Table-2. Table – 2 Scheffe's test for the difference between paired means on Drop off time *Significant at 0.05 level of confidence. Table-2 shows that the mean difference values of Drop off Time between Plyometric Training group and Control group, Complex Training group and Control group are 0.88 and 1.36 respectively, which are greater than the confidence interval value of 0.54 on Drop off Time at 0.05 level of confidence. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between Plyometric Training group
mean difference values of Drop off Time between Plyometric Training group and Control group, Complex Training group and Control group are 0.88 and 1.36 respectively, which are greater than the confidence interval value of 0.54 on Drop off Time at 0.05 level of confidence. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between Plyometric Training group and Complex Training group, Plyometric Training group and Control group, Complex Training group and Control group. Further the Table-2 shows that the mean difference values of Drop off Time between Plyometric Training group and Complex Training group, is 0.48, which is less than the confidence interval value of 0.54 on Drop off Time at 0.05 level of confidence. The results of the study showed that there was no significant difference between Plyometric Training group and Complex Training group. The above data also reveal that Complex Training group had shown better performance than Plyometric Training group and Control in Drop off Time. The pre and post test mean values of Plyometric Training group, Complex Training group and Control group on Drop off Time are graphically represented in the Figure-1. The adjusted post mean values of Plyometric Training group, Complex Training group and Control group on Drop off Time are graphically represented in the Figure -2. Figure: 1 The Pre and Post test Mean values of Plyometric Training group, Complex Training group and Control group on Drop off Time (Scores in Seconds) Figure: 2 The Adjusted Post Test Mean values of Plyometric Training group, Complex Training group and Control group on Drop off Time(Scores in Seconds) Conclusion From the analysis of the data, Complex Training Group showed significantly decrease in the Drop off Time, when compared to the Plyometric training and control group.
