Effect of Plyometric on the Lower Limbs of Sports Dancers

Abstract

Introduction: The quality of explosive strength in pliometry is one of the most determinant factors for solid construction of the physical fitness of sports dancers and the material base for completing the complete harmony of movements, being the central quality of all visual impressions of sports dancers. Objective: Verify the impacts of plyometric training on the lower limbs of sports dancers. Methods: 20 male and 20 female university students with sports dance training were divided into four groups for comparative study. Results: The training method of type “maximal resistance at 85% 1RM, half squat for 3 times + 30% 1RM, rapid jump followed by squat for four times” was better for improving the vertical jump height of sports dancers; Using “85% 1RM, half squat for 3 times + 15% 1RM, rapid jump followed by squat for four times” presented better for the performance of sport dance athletes in-situ half jump height and the effect was shown to be better in in-situ vertical jump height. Conclusion: The submaximal plyometric resistance training method can significantly promote the lower limb explosiveness of sports dancers and can be used in sports dance training with practical effectiveness.
