Efecto de un Programa de Entrenamiento Pliométrico sobre la Velocidad de Reacción en el equipo de Futbol Sala de la Usta Tunja

Abstract

Futsal has become a very popular collective sport worldwide, in which game situations have evolved and require greater physical, technical and tactical condition to face the demands of the sport. Therefore, the aim is to determine the effect of a plyometric training program on reaction speed in the USTA Tunja futsal team. The methodology used in the project was quantitative experimental, the population to intervene were university indoor soccer players with a sample in the USTA Tunja team. It should be noted that an experimental group of 12 participants was taken as a reference, evaluating the reaction speed pre and post training through the Litwin test and the 20-meter sprint test, using the photocells as a reference to obtain greater precision. Likewise, bioimpedance was performed using the tanite BC-730F instrument, a tool that allows measuring the body composition of athletes. The results of the study showed significant improvements in the players' reaction speed after completing the 12-week plyometric training program. These improvements were reflected in the reaction times measured by the Litwin test and the 20-meter test.
