The effect of a sand surface on physical performance responses of junior male handball players to plyometric training
(Die Wirkung einer Sandoberfläche auf die physischen Leistungsreaktionen männlicher Junioren-Handballspieler auf das plyometrische Training)
Background
The effects of 7 weeks plyometric training on a stable surface and on sand were compared in junior male handball players.
Methods
A team of experienced players was divided randomly between three groups, undertaking a standard in-season regimen (C, n=10), or supplementing this regimen by plyometric training on sand (PS, n=11) or a stable surface (P, n=10) for 7 weeks. Assessments included 20m sprint times, change of direction tests (Modified change-of-direction T-test and Modified Illinois test), a repeated sprint T-test, jumping ability (squat, countermovement and five jump tests), and static and dynamic balance.
Results
After the intervention, PS showed significant increases of sprint speed relative to P and C. Change of direction scores were also improved for PS relative to P and C. Both PS and P increased vertical jump performance (squat jump, p=0.005; ES=0.170; counter-movement jump p<0.001; ES=0.247). Repeated sprint T-test scores improved in PS and P relative to C, with best times of PS>P (p<0.05). Both plyometric groups improved their dynamic balance (p<0.05), with three parameters of PS and only one of P being significantly greater than C. Static balance was also enhanced in both experimental groups (PS>P).
Conclusions
We conclude that for reasons that remain to be clarified, several performance measures in adolescent male handball players were increased more by 7 weeks of PS than by P.
