ABSTRACT
Introduction: The plyometric method is a stretch-shortening model aimed at improving the speed and strength of sportspeople. Studies have been conducted assessing the effects of plyometrics on male soccer players of various age ranges. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the short-term scope and limitations of the plyometric method as applied to female players.
Objective: Determine the short-term impact of the plyometric method on the speed and speed-strength of female soccer players from the senior category.
Methods: A study was conducted of a population of female soccer players from the senior category (18 subjects), implementing a plyometric program composed of three microcycles for initial adaptation and a five-microcycle plyometric intervention. Evaluation was performed of the effects on speed and speed-strength applying two sport performance tests, one before and one after implementation of the proposal.
Results: Improvement was significant in the post-test as part of the jump test (p = 0.000), as well as in the post-test for the three phases of the 40 m test (p = 0.000).
Conclusions: Significant speed and speed-strength improvement is observed in female soccer players from the senior category, showing that plyometric training is effective to strengthen the aforementioned sport performance indicators in the female sex.
