The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of Ladder training programme on Explosive strength. A ladder workout is a method of strength and sports training where you perform one or more exercises with an ascending and descending repetition pattern. Ladders are muscular endurance and conditioning workouts designed to help you increase your overall training volumes while maintaining proper form and technique. Ladder drills are an excellent way to improve foot speed, agility, coordination and overall quickness. Randomly selected 60 college girls were divided into two equal groups as A and B. After taking the pre-test for Explosive strength using sergeant jump test the ladder training programme was given to experimental groups A whereas the group B was a control group. The experimental group ‘A’ had undergone the ladder training programme, thrice a week for 16 weeks. Post test was conducted after 16 weeks. The t-test was employed to analyse the significance of difference from the pre-test to post test on selected variable. The result reveals that there was significant improvement in Explosive strength for the experimental group as a result of the ladder training programme conducted for a period of four months.
