- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of lower extremity plyometric training programme on jumping height, aerobic power, anaerobic power, sprint performance and balance in young female volleyball players. Materials and methods: 35 female adolescent volleyball players were included in the study. The participants were separated in two study groups: a study group (lower extremity plyometric training combined with jump rope exercises; n=18) and a control group (standard volleyball training; n=17). All subjects were evaluated before and after 12-week training. A vertical jump and reach test (VRJT) was performed to assess jump height. Anaerobic capacity was calculated using a formula by VRJT. 20 meters shuttle run test, Y-balance test (YBT) and 20 meters sprint test were performed to assess aerobic capacity, dynamic balance and sprint performance, respectively. Statistical comparison was performed using an analysis of variance test. Results: Comparisons showed that aerobic capacity was improved in two groups (p<0.05). Jumping height, anaerobic power, sprint time and YBT distance to anterior direction was improved in study group (p<0.05), whereas no improvement was seen in control group (p>0.05). YBT distances to posteromedial and posterolateral directions were more improved in study group than control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Results of this study showed benefits of addition of plyometric exercises to standard training in young female volleyball players. This study will be a basis for developing training programmes.
