This study investigates the impact of 12-week plyometric training program on the kinematic parameters of high school students. This study includes thirty (30) students, who were split into two groups (the experimental group and the controlled group), each consisting of fifteen (15) students, using a random group design. Except for their regular activities, the controlled group (CG) was not permitted to take part in the training program. To develop kinematic parameters in high school students, a plyometric training program was given to the experimental group. The kinematic parameters are step frequency, stride length and velocity in 30-metre and 50-metre sprints. Data were collected in two parts: pre- and post-12-week training programs, using the Kinovea Software. Subjects were informed about the purpose of the study and how to execute the test by demonstration. To compare the mean differences between the pre- and post-test scores in each criterion measure, a paired ‘t’-test was applied by using SPSS. To test this hypothesis, the level of significance was set at 0.05. Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that 12 weeks of plyometric training resulted in significant improvements in step frequency, stride length and velocity in both 30-metre and 50-metre sprints among high school students. However, no significant improvement was observed in either of the control groups.
