Abstract

In sport, volleyball is a discipline of acyclic actions that requires a high performance of the player, being the vertical jumps required defensive and offensive actions during a match. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of a lower body explosive strength program to improve the vertical jump in the players of the volleyball club of the University of Cuenca, due to the recent institutionalization of sports clubs in the university, which has caused that they do not have a specialized training program to improve their performance. For this, the research applied an experimental design to a sample of 47 athletes, 24 women and 23 men of the club, to whom a Pre Test was applied through the Squat Jump and Abalakov Tests to later apply a Post Test, after the implementation of the intervention program of 9 weeks, whose data obtained were processed in the IBM statistical program SPSS version 25 and whose results show significant variations in the Squat test in men of 0.49% and ME 3.35 and in women of 21.18% ME 9.45; while in the Abalakov test it shows an improvement in performance of 21.02% ME 10.42 in men and 30.98% ME 13.93 in women, reaching between the two tests an improvement in performance of 21.51% in men and 52.15% in women, which gives viability to the present study.
