APLICAÇÃO DO MÉTODO DE TREINAMENTO SUSPENSO NOS ESPORTISTAS

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Suspension training is a new activity in which exercises are performed exploring the body weight as resistance, using a suspension tape. The body remains in constant motion due to the support reaction force formed by the open kinetic chain, requiring rapid muscle contractions for continuous balance adjustment. It is believed that this training can improve proprioceptive neuromuscular function, although there is little scientific evidence of its benefits on body posture in athletes. Objective: Explore the function and application of the overhead training method in athletes. Methods: Sixteen male athletes from a provincial badminton team volunteered for the research. Divided into two groups, the experimental group added suspension training. In contrast, the control group kept only traditional training, the other training contents were the same between the two groups, and the experiment lasted 12 weeks. The relevant data were collected before and after the intervention period by the GoodBalance balance tester, and the balance ability of all athletes with eyes closed on one foot was evaluated. Results: The balance ability of the athletes in the experimental group was significantly improved, while the balance ability of the athletes in the control group changed little. Conclusion: Suspension training can significantly improve the balance ability of athletes and can be used as an effective auxiliary training method for balance improvement.
