• Chakshuraksha P, Apanukul S. Effects of Accentuated Eccentric Loading Combined with Plyometric Training on Strength, Power, Speed, and Agility in Male Rugby Players. JEPonline 2021; 24(3):21-29. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an accentuated eccentric loading combined with plyometric training provides better strength, power, speed, and agility adaptations than a traditional complex training. Twenty-eight competitive male rugby players (mean age = 19.53 [+ or -] 1.3 years) were subjects in this study. All subjects were randomly assigned to 2 groups: (a) Accentuated eccentric loading combined with plyometric training group (AECT, n = 14); and (b) Traditional complex training group (TCT, n = 14). The subjects were tested for strength, peak power, speed, and agility prior to the training and after the 6th-week of training. Both the AECT and the TCT groups performed identical training except that the AECT group used a weight-release device attached to a barbell loaded with plates, while the TCT group used just the barbell loaded with plates. Statistical analyses revealed significant (P<0.05) between-group differences after training. The results showed that the AECT group significantly increased strength and agility compared to the TCT group (P<0.05). Both the AECT and the TCT groups resulted in a significant increase in strength, power, speed, and agility compared to the pre-test (P<0.05). Hence, accentuated eccentric loading combined with plyometric training is better than traditional complex training for developing strength and agility.
