The aim of this study was to find out the effect of own body jump training on horizontal jump performance of athletes (jumpers). To achieve the purpose of this study, twenty male athletes were randomly selected as participants from Anna stadium, Palayamkottai Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India. Their age were ranged from 15 to 17 years. The selected participants were randomly divided into two groups such as Group ‘I’ underwent own body jump training group (n=10) and Group ‘II’ acted as control group (n-10). Only those who represented their respective interschool competition were taken as subjects were participated in the jumping events only. Group ‘I’ underwent own body jump training for alternate three days and one session per day and each session lasted for an hour for six week periods. Group ‘II’ was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in regular activities. The data on selected criterion variable on horizontal jump performance was measured by distance of long jump performance (meters). The pre and post-tests data were collected on selected criterion variable prior to and immediately after the own body jump training. The pre and post tests scores were statistically examined by the dependent ‘t’ test and Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) for each and every selected variable separately. It was concluded that the own body jump training group were improved selected criterion variable on horizontal jump performance when compared to the control group. However the control group had not shown any significant improvement on selected criterion variable.
