        abstract = {The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of weight training and combined weight and plyometric training, on leg strength, anaerobic power and body mass index. Forty five male kabaddi players aged between 19 and 25 years were selected for the study. They were divided into three equal groups, each group consisting of fifteen subjects in which two experimental groups and one control group, in which the group I (n=15) underwent weight training, group II (n = 15) underwent combined weight and plyometric training for three days (alternative days) per week for twelve weeks and group III, acted as control, which did not participate in any training apart from their regular kabaddi game practice. The subjects were tested on selected criterion variable as leg strength, anaerobic power and body mass index at prior to and immediately after the training period. For testing the leg strength, the leg lift with dynamometer was used, for assessing the anerobic power, 300 meters run test was administered and body mass index was found out after applying the Quetelet index. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant difference if any, between the experimental groups and control group on selected criterion variable separately. Since there were three groups involved in the present study, the Scheffé S test was used as post-hoc test. The selected criterion variables such as leg strength and anaerobic power were improved significantly for all the training groups when compared with the control group.},
