To this end subjects were randomly categorized as (EG=12) and (CG=12), Apart from this, by employing randomized experimental research design an eight weeks, three days/week, 60’/ session plyometric training were delivered to EG in addition to actual project training, whereas CG stay involving only on their regular training. Skill related Physical performance (speed in 30m dash, agility in Illinois agility and explosive power in broad jump were selected as study variables. After the normality of data was tested, descriptive, Paired sample and independent t test were used to test effect of intervention and variation among groups respectively. Paired sample t test analysis result of closed performance shows significant improvement to all variables testes at for 30 m dash, Illinois agility and Standing Long Jump, (P= 0.00).
