Cronin and Hansen (2005) for many sporting activities, initial speed rather than
maximal speed would be considered of greater importance successful performance.
The purpose of this study was to identify the best training regime to enhance speed
performance. The subjects were randomly separate into two groups which is
plyometric group (N=12) and strength group (N=12). Both of the groups were
performed the exercise within two times per week lasting eight weeks. The results of
paired sample T-Test shown at the Sig. (2-tailed) which stated that 30-meter dash
for plyometric (p=0.134), and strength (p=0.193). It shown that p>0.05 and also
stated that there is no significant between both training. For 60-meter dash for
plyometric (p=0.260), it also stated that there no significant while for strength
(p=0.085), it shown that p<0.05 and also stated that there is a significant effect of
plyometric and strength training of speed test among hockey players. This are been
shown that 60-meter strength training have a significant effects on speed test in
hockey players.
