Systematization and Rationalization of Training for under 17 Female Volleyball Players through Specialized Plyometric Programs

The main scope of this study is to use plyometric means in volleyball training, individualized according to the training period, in order to improve the strength-speed capacity from the point of multidimensional perspective. The longitudinal experiment took place during the competitive year 2022-2023 and consisted in the introduction of plyometric means in training, depending on the training period, the time allocated to the improvement of strength-speed capacity being 20 minutes. We mention that the research was carried out in the gym of Dacia Pitesti Technological High School. The statistical data were collected by using the “Kistler Force Measurement Platform - Quattro Jump v1.1.1.x”. According to the results, we mention that through the use of specialized plyometric programs during training, we obtained significantly improved values in the final evaluation of the applied tests, through a significant percentage increase with a value between 7% and 25% in the group subjected to the experiment. Sports training for U17 female volleyball players is a systematic and continuous pedagogical process with the objective of improving the general motor capacity and in particular the strength-speed capacity, the functional and mental capacity, based on the adaptation of the body to the intense and maximum efforts. In conclusion, the use of specialized plyometric programs in the training of cadet female volleyball players (15-17 years), determines a faster and more extensive development of general physical training, ensures a good rest for the athletes and reveals a more efficient use of the time allocated to the training.
