Impact of Eccentric Training on Jumping Ability in Athletes

Abstract

Introduction: Strength quality can be divided into total strength, rapid strength, endurance strength, and reaction strength, among which rapid strength has been a much-discussed theme in sports industry research. Objective: Study the impacts of eccentric lower limb training on jumping ability in soccer athletes. Methods: A multifunctional centrifugal training device was used as a training tool, and the effect of eccentric training on rapid strength in soccer players was analyzed. Results: The average force of soccer players in the experimental group increased by about 524N, and the completion rate increased by about 76%. Both average strength and completion rate were significantly improved. Compared to the control group, the experimental group benefited more from the explosive power and kinetic indexes. There was also a significant improvement in the four indices of jumping ability, the three indices of sensitivity (except 15s step frequency), and eccentric training in the experimental group (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The proposed lower limb eccentric training resulted in a beneficial effect on the jumping ability of athletes.
