Plyometric training (PT) involves dynamic and rapid muscle stretching (eccentric action) immediately followed by a muscle contraction (concentric action) of the same muscles and connective tissues. These high-intensity exercises combine strength and speed to enhance power. Calisthenics is a form of exercise involving various movements that primarily use body weight for resistance and require no equipment. It aims to improve neuromuscular function. Procedure- Ethical clearance was obtained from Institution Ethical Committee. Total 40 participants were included in this study according to the inclusive criteria; participants were allocated by randomization method into two groups. GROUP A included 20 participants (plyometric exercise) and GROUP B included 20 participants (Calisthenics exercise) for 3 days in a week for four weeks. Outcome measures- Agility T test, Illinois agility test. Result- Effect of GROUP A was assessed by using Paired t Test /Wilcoxon’s Signed Rank Test. Effect of GROUP B was assessed by using Paired t Test / Wilcoxon’s Signed Rank Test. Comparison Between both GROUP was done by using unpaired t Test / Mann-Whitney Test. Results indicated improvement in both the groups with the Group A (plyometric exercises) showing significant improvement in agility than Group B (Calisthenics exercise) Conclusion- Both breathing exercises were effective in improving agility in karate players but Group A showed better results in enhancing agility due to excessive force production.
