- Abstract
In athletics, explosive strength is imperative for most athletics events, and training the lower body is the main concern of athletics specialists. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a combined plyometric intervention program versus a plyometric program made through age-adapted simple jumps. The present research was carried out in the “Lia Manoliu” Sports Complex, Bucharest, for 21 weeks, out of which the first and last week were intended for the initial and final tests. The research samples were made up of 10 athletes each, of both sexes, aged 12/13 years. All the subjects of the research participated in 3 weekly trainings, with a duration of 90 minutes and had a weekly intervention program of plyometric type; The training of the experimental group was one that combined simple plyometric jumps over obstacles, with and without load, accessible to the age, as well as depth jumps with landing on the ground in flexion of 90°, followed by an active impulse of both legs on ground. The training of the control group consisted of various simple plyometric jumps. Analyzing the results of the experiment, we can conclude that the combined plyometric training revealed a superior improvement in the lactic acid anaerobic power of the lower limbs compared to the plyometric training achieved through various types of jumps, obtaining a greater progress, statistically significant, in 3 out of the 4 motor tests.
