INFLUENCE OF DOUBLE JUMP ROPES ON ATHLETES’ LOWER LIMBS

INFLUÊNCIA DO SALTO DUPLO DE CORDA DE BALANÇO NOS MEMBROS INFERIORES DOS ATLETAS

INFLUENCIA DEL DOBLE SALTO DE CUERDA DE BALANCEO EN LOS MIEMBROS INFERIORES DE LOS ATLETAS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The double jump rope swing is a rope jumping technique that combines the technology of vertical jump and rope swing, requiring participants to jump twice in a row with the soles of their feet.

Objective:

Study the effect of double-balance jump rope training on athletes’ muscular strength in the lower limbs.

Methods:

Through the experimental process, the dynamic and kinematic parameters generated during the process of vertical jump of the participants before and after the double balance rope jump exercise were tested; the effects of double balance rope jump on the biomechanical characteristics of the lower limbs and hip, knee and ankle joints of the participants were analyzed.

Results:

Compared to pre-training, subjects in the experimental group improved significantly (p = 0.05).

Conclusion:

After double rope jump training, the subjects obtained an increase in lower limb strength and ground reaction force at the extension stage in the vertical jump. They produced greater force in less time, suggesting that the lower limb burst strength was enhanced. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
