The aim of research is to determine the effect of weight training on explosive power of College Volleyball Players. Thirty six subjects were randomly assigned to three equal groups of 12 subjects and they were Degree College Volleyball Players who were studying in Degree Colleges affiliated to Karnatak University, Dharwad of Karnataka, India. Three groups were assigned into Experimental Group-I (WRE) acted as Weight Training group practicing resistance exercises with own body weight; Experimental Group-II (WRES) acted as Weight Training Group practicing resistance exercises with weights along with specific skills and Group-III (CG) acted as control group. The Pre test scores on explosive power were conducted for all the subjects by administering medicine ball throw in meters. Experimental groups practiced weight training for the period of 12 weeks. The post test mean scores of explosive power were collected after the treatments. ANOVA and ANCOVA were used to determine the significant mean scores for Explosive Power of Arms. By using LSD post hoc test where the obtained F value was found significant. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level. It was concluded that both weight training groups developed explosive power of College Volleyball Players. It was concluded that both weight training groups developed explosive power of arms of College Volleyball Players. The weight training practicing resistance exercises with weights and practicing volleyball skills practice was most appropriate for developing explosive power of arms when compared with weight training practicing resistance exercises with own body weight.
