STRENGTH TRAINING EFFECTS ON LOWER LIMB EXPLOSIVE POWER IN ATHLETES

EFEITOS DO TREINAMENTO DE FORÇA SOBRE O PODER EXPLOSIVO DO MEMBRO INFERIOR EM ATLETAS

EFECTOS DEL ENTRENAMIENTO DE FUERZA SOBRE LA POTENCIA EXPLOSIVA DEL MIEMBRO INFERIOR EN LOS ATLETAS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

In track and field events, the force generated by running, jumping, and throwing starts from the lower limbs and is transmitted from bottom to top, forming a complete dynamic chain.

Objective:

Study the effect of different combined strength training methods on the explosive strength of the lower limbs of track and field athletes.

Methods:

Twenty members of the track and field team were selected as research subjects and divided into two groups, A and B. Group A performed the maximum resistance training method, and group B performed the submaximal resistance training method and underwent 12 weeks of different combined strength training.

Results:

After 12 weeks of training, there was a significant difference in the results of the two groups of students in the approach run (male P=0.034, female P=0.021), and the results of experimental group B improved significantly.

Conclusion:

The maximum resistance training method can most effectively improve the explosive performance of the lower limbs of track and field practitioners. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
