Effects of Specific Training Program to Improve Lower Limp Explosive Power on Long Jump of Physical Education Students in Beijing City, the People’s Republic of China

Background and Aim: Due long jump requires a significant amount of explosive power, particularly in the lower body muscles. Students who lack strength and power in their legs may struggle to generate enough force to propel themselves forward during take-off, resulting in shorter jumps. This research aims to study the effect of specific training programs to improve lower limb explosive power on the long jump of physical education students in Beijing City, The People’s Republic of China. Materials and Methods: This research is quasi-experimental. The population of this experiment consists of first-year male students in the academic year 2023 at Capital University of Physical Education and Sports, Beijing City, who have chosen to study the subject of athletics, totaling 85 students. The 85 students will participate in the long jump test and record their scores. After the test, a total of 62 students passed the test criteria. The researcher used the simple random sampling method to select 20 students as a sample group. In this experiment, the training will be conducted in 8 weeks, comprising sessions held 5 days per week, 2 hours per day. Additionally, standing long jump test and long jump test to evaluate explosive power will be conducted before, after 4 weeks of training, and after 8 weeks of training. In this research, mean, standard deviation, one-way repeated measures ANOVA, and dependent t-tests were used to analyze the data. Results: After training with the specific program, the standing long jump test results and the long jump test results between the pre-test, after 4 weeks of training, and post-test showed a statistically significant difference at the 0.05 level. Conclusion: The specific training program was effective in improving lower limb explosive power on the long jump of physical education students.
