The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of the 8weeks' weight training and plyometric training upon the development of power ability. The subjects for this study consisted of 30 high school students. Two groups for this study were divided, one was weight training group (N=15), the other plyometirc training group(N=15). In the Weight training program the subjects practised a total 5 resistance exercises with the 60% maximal muscular strength including 3 minutes rest. Plyometirc training program consisted of single foot side-to-side , tuck jump heel kick, 1-2-3 drill, standing long jump with sprint, single leg hop and depth jump to prescribed height ankle hop The test items for this study were 50m dash, vertical jump and standing long jump. The pre and post records of 3 test items were compared at the 5% significance test to evaluate the effect of two training programs. The results were as followings. 1. There was no significant difference in the 50m running between the weight training group and the plyometric training group. 2. There was significant difference in the vertical jump between the weight training group and the plyometric training group(p<.05). Plyometic trianing group marked higher records than weight training group. 3. There was no significant difference in the standing long jump between the weight training group and the plyometric training group.
