TREINAMENTO DE FORÇA EXPLOSIVA SOB MEMBROS INFERIORES NO FUTEBOL

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Technical movements that mainly include running and jumping are soccer's main sport selection processes. These technical movements demand high requirements of lower limb endurance and explosive strength by athletes. Objective: Study the methods of strength and explosive force training in the lower limbs of soccer players. Methods: The experiment with 40 volunteers lasted 12 weeks and was conducted as a control experiment. The experimental group performed extensive lower limb strength training represented by weight resistance strength training on Monday and Wednesday. In contrast, the control group performed traditional modes of strength training such as half squats and deep squats. Diet was controlled, targeting to minimize the interference of unrelated variables. Results: The scores of the experimental group and the control group were improved and statistically more favorable in the experimental group. Conclusion: The strength training system with weight bearing on the lower limbs used in this study may promote better muscular development of the athletes, improve the explosive power of their lower limbs, and allow better performance on the field, and may be replicated. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
