The Organization, Structuration And Quantification Of Strength Training In Athletics - Jumping

Strength development training is one of the base components of general and specific physical training of athletes. According to the demands of each movement skill, the objectives of strength related training sessions will mainly be targeted at increasing strength and explosive power. An individual quantification of training starts from knowing the maximum output, known by taking a direct or indirect test. Procedures shown are specific models to each type of strength which can be applied individually with a condition that load intensity is a percentage of the initial maximum output, already established at the beginning of each individual training program. The principle which must govern organization, structuration and quantification of training for jumping strength development is “power without high muscle mass, its achievement being possible only in the situation in which the maximum force is obtained by synchronizing and fine-tuning of motor components (limbs and breathing). Strength training is a high-effort high-energy requirement type of training and it also posts a high risk of injury reason why, both general and specific warm-ups as well as taking breaks between exercises must be as important as the exercising itself
