Correlación entre la fuerza-resistencia abdominal y salto vertical en voleibolistas mujeres de 15–17 años de cinco clubes afiliados a la liga santandereana de voleibol

Abstract

The present study aimed to identify the correlation between abdominal muscular endurance and vertical jump height in female volleyball players aged 15 to 17 years belonging to five clubs affiliated with the Santander Volleyball League (LSV). A descriptive cross-sectional study with a correlational approach was conducted on a sample of 151 athletes. Abdominal muscular endurance was assessed using the Sit-Up and Plank tests, while vertical jump height was measured through the Abalakov Jump (ABK) test using the MyJump application. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used for statistical analysis because the variables did not present a normal distribution. The results showed a weak but statistically significant positive correlation between the Sit-Up test and Abalakov jump height (ρ = 0.158; p = 0.024), whereas the Plank test did not show a significant correlation with vertical jump performance. It is concluded that dynamic abdominal muscular endurance has a weak positive association with vertical jump performance in adolescent female volleyball players, while isometric abdominal endurance was not significantly associated with this physical capacity.
