PLYOMETRICS AND THE EFFECT ON FOUR TYPICAL VERTICAL HEIGHT
Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this study-case was to determine the effects of plyometric
training on height of rise, the (maximal) explosive force of
legs, the power of the inferior train. The controlled trial that evaluated
the effect of plyometric training on four typical vertical
height, test were carried out: Counter Movement Jump - CMJ,
Continuous Jump with Bent Legs Reference – CJbref, Continuous
Jump with Straight Legs - hCJs, Continuous Jump with Bent Legs -
CJb30 sec. Study-case was identified by computerised used Bosco
Protocol applied Kistler force platform measurement 9290AD
Quattro Jump.
The four tests that were performed using Kistler force platform
to measure Quatro Jump Bosco Protocol Version 1.0.9.2, gave us
the data about the height and jump power and capacity data on
neuro-motor recruitment (fast fibers), voluntary effort, fatigue,
muscle elasticity effect or stretching.
The pooled estimate of the effect of plyometric training o jump
height was plyometric training provides a statistically significant
and practically relevant improvement in jump height with the mean
effect ranging from 3.8 (CJs) to 7.2 (CJb30s).
