Abstract
Background:
The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between the Kinematic parameter (Peak Velocity during Counter Movement Jump (CMJ)) with Agility Run and Short Sprint Acceleration Run.
Material and Method:
Total of 124 (66 males and 58 females) hockey trainees performed CMJ on Force Platform followed by 5-m short sprint acceleration and 6 m × 10 m shuttle run. Pearson’s correlation was calculated, and the level of significance was kept at P ≤ 0.05.
Results:
The correlation of peak velocity with short sprint acceleration run and agility run was found as r = −0.542 and r = −0.457, respectively, for all subjects, while male hockey trainees demonstrated the values of r = −0.794 and −0.699, whereas the female hockey trainees indicated the values of r = −0.632 and r = −0.575 with short sprint acceleration run and agility run, respectively.
Conclusion:
The present study concluded that peak velocity had a linear correlation with short sprint acceleration run as well as agility run. This could be a fruitful result for coaches as well as players to inculcate the vertical Jump regime in their training program so as to improve the performance of the players.
