Study On The Evaluation Of The Voluntary And Involuntary Strength In Football
Year: 2019
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In recent years, football all over the world has evolved from all points of view, including the dynamics of the game and the increase in the speed and strength with which most of the game phases take place. Technical and tactical skills of the top teams are incontestable, but the athletic potential and the strength of the players make the difference. The ability to have starting strength and flexible strength are critical elements that any athlete must possess. We intend to calculate the difference between voluntary strength (starting strength) and involuntary strength (explosive strength) to determine the deficit and rebalance the differences between them. We are convinced that balance is at the basis of any training program and that this deficit must be identified and balanced through individual training programs focused on maximum strength and plyometrics. Knowing all the mentioned aspects, we aimed to work according to the new approaches and methods of identification and balancing of the voluntary strength and explosive strength, using the Sargent two-jump test assessed through the plyometric platform. New research shows that involuntary strength must be greater than voluntary strength. To improve the voluntary strength, it is necessary to work in the gym with a higher intensity of 90% of 1RM to recruit as many muscle fibers. Regarding the involuntary strength, it should be improved through plyometric exercises.
