Abstract
This research delved into exploring the impact of ladder training on improving the athletic performance of adolescent students, particularly focusing on boosting explosive power and speed. The study involved thirty boys aged 15-17, selected randomly from an Indian school in Doha, Qatar. The variables measured were Explosive Power (EP) and speed (S). EP was assessed using the Standing Broad Jump (SBJ), while Speed (S) was gauged through the 50-yard dash. Divided into two groups - the Experimental Group (EG) and the Control Group (CG), each consisting of fifteen students - the EG underwent dedicated ladder training for 12 weeks while the CG continued their routine. Analysis of pre-test and post-test results indicated significant enhancements in EP and speed within the EG, with notable shifts from 2.15±.27 to 2.40±.24and 7.52±.54to 6.97±.66, respectively, exhibiting significant 't' values (EP: -2.39; speed: 2.23) at P˂.05. Conversely, the CG showed minimal changes in EP (pre: 2.22±.22; post: 2.2±.21) and speed (pre: 7.51±.43; post: 7.58±.72), with 't' values of 0.295 and 0.842, respectively, failing to reach significance at P˂.05. These outcomes highlight the efficacy of ladder training in improving explosive power and speed among adolescent students, suggesting its potential as a safe and advantageous component in athletic training programs.
