The effect of intermittent training with plyometric exercises on aerobic and anaerobic capacities

Abstract

This study check the effectiveness of the intermittent work as a key method of work of the quality in the quantity by the layout of a plyometric work. The question always remains to find the training methods scientifically validated which lead to improve these qualities. We put forward the hypothesis that the intermittent training by plyometric exercises will improve the football players, aerobic an anaerobic capacities. Twenty football players aged between 18 and 23 years coming from Tissemsilt university team were invited to participate in our study (table1). Our population was spilt up into 2 groups in a random way. An experimental group (EG) and control group (CG). The programme was calibrated on 8 weeks and planned as follow: two weeks of intermittent work 10s/20s, four weeks of intermittent work 30s/30s, two weeks of intermittent work 15s/30s. The frequency of these types of training was 2 sessions/week. The footballers did a physical tests: (SJ; CMJ). The (RSA) test, and the Yo-yo test. The tests were again proposed to the footballers: this allowed us to compare the obtained results between the two tests before and after the training. After eight weeks of training, we recorded a development in the experimental sample in the (MAS), vertical jump (CMJ), and (RSA) tests, while we did not record a significant difference in the vertical jump (SJ) test (p<0.05), As with the control sample, the development was limited to (MAS) and (RSA) only. This study shows the effectiveness of the training programme applied to the experimental sample in the post-tests between the two groups, with the exception of the vertical jump test (SJ), where there was no significant difference.
