Objectives: To determine the potential role of circuit training and ladder training in developing anaerobic power and explosive performance of school students.
Design: The students were divided randomly into 3 groups’ circuit training (CT; n = 15), ladder training (LT; n = 15) and control group (CG; n = 15).
Setting: The three groups did not significantly (p > 0.05) after randomisation in the dependent variable. The data obtained from the subjects are analysed statistically by applying analysis covariance (ANACOVA) at a 0.05 level of significance.
Participants: Forty-five boys students were selected age: 15.6 ± 1.2 years; body height: 175.4 ± 5.8 cm; body mass: 71.6 ± 6.2 kg; BMI: 23.1 ± 2.3).
Main Outcome Measures: Sprint performance was assessed using a sprint over 50 m and explosive power was assessed by using a standing broad jump.
Results: The study's findings indicated that 12 weeks of ladder training increased speed performance by 5.3% and that circuit training increased explosive power by 8.2%.
Conclusions: The circuit training method and the ladder training method are two ways that can improve explosive power and speed. But the ultimate result differs dramatically in both ways.
