Efectividad de un programa de entrenamiento físico para el desarrollo de la fuerza explosiva del tren inferior y su incidencia en los gestos técnicos en el fútbol femenino

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a plyometric training program in the development of explosive strength and its impact on the technical movements of driving and finishing in the women's soccer team of the Carneras reserve of the Salesian Polytechnic

University. The population consisted of 25 participants aged between 18 and 25 years. A pre- experimental, longitudinal and prospective design was used. The training program was

created at University of Texas-Arlington in 2016, had a duration of six weeks, with two weekly sessions of 60 minutes each. The evaluation of power in the lower body was performed using the Squat Jump and the Counter Movement Jump of the Bosco test, recorded on video and analyzed with the My Jump 2 application. Technical gestures were evaluated before and after the program by means of a technical control test conducted by Jorge Sanchez, soccer coach. Stakes, elastics, flexometer, plates and cones were used to perform the tests. The results indicated a significant improvement in explosive strength, which translated into an increase in finishing distance and driving speed, positively impacting technical ability. There were notable improvements in the results of the pre- and post-program tests, demonstrating the effectiveness of plyometric training to develop power and improve technical gestures in female soccer players.
