The purpose if this study was to examine the efffectiveness of six weeks of plyometric training, weight training and their combination on angular velocity during a 60-second test cycle ergometer. Based on their training , forty-eight male college students were divided into four groups (n=13) , a weight training group : a plyometric training group (n=14), and a control group (n=10). The angular velocity was measured by a 15 and 60-second aycle ergometer test before and after a six-week training period. Subject in each of the training groups training two days per week, whereas the control subjects did not participate in any training activity. The data was analyzed by a one-way analysis of variance (repeated-measure design). The results showed that all the training treatments elicited significant (p<0.05) improvement in the angular velocity that was significantly greater than the improvement of the other two training groups (plyometric training and weight training). It was concluded that a combination of traditional weight training and plyometric drills “complex training” enhance angular velocity production in cycling. Therefore, complex training may help improve performance in sprint cycling that requires angular velocity, angular acceleration and power.
