Programa de fuerza explosiva aplicado al balonmano en las clases de educación física, para el fortalecimiento del tren inferior y superior, en estudiantes de bachillerato

Abstract

The present paper implements a program to develop explosive force applied to handball in Physical Education classes; that seeks to contribute to the strengthening of the lower and upper body, in high school students of the "Benigno Malo" school in the city of Cuenca- Ecuador. For the design of the program, information was collected regarding criteria, techniques and tools for the development of explosive force; second, the level of explosive strength of the lower and upper body of the high school students was determined using measurement instruments (the medicine ball throw test and the horizontal jump test without impulse); third, based on the results of the information gathering, the program for the development of the explosive force of the lower and upper body is designed and applied, following a detailed training for the suggested purposes; third, we evaluate the effectiveness of the program considering the pretest and performing a post-test regarding theexplosive force applied to handball. Consequently, we conclude that in order to optimize the possibilities of developing physical capacities (explosive strength in the upper and lower body)in high school students, it is necessary to consider the following: carry out safe training, recognize the relevance between training and the biological age of the athlete, respect the different capacities of the student body for training; in order to ensure the efficient implementation of the designed program.
