Effects of High-Volume Load Muscular Endurance Training on Countermovement Jump Force-Time Curve in Elite Female Basketball Players
Abstract:The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 8-week high-volume load (VL) muscular endurance training on countermovement jump (CMJ) force-time (F-T) curve in elite female basketball players. Eight female basketball players from the national team participated in this study. The high VL training was aimed to develop muscular endurance, which was conducted 3 times per week for 8 weeks during the general preparatory phase. At least 2 CMJs were performed to evaluate the changes of F-T curves after high VL muscular endurance training intervention. This study compared the CMJ parameters, such as jump height (JH), peak force (PF), peak force rate of force development (PFRFD), positive impulse (PI), and movement time (MT) before and after 8-week training period. The results showed that the PFRFD and MT reached statistically significant differences after 8-week high VL muscular endurance training. However, JH remained relatively unchanged, even the values were marginally higher after training. We conclude that 8-week high VL muscular endurance training significantly decreased PFRFD and extended MT. Further studies are needed to evaluate the F-T curve changes from the CMJ through the different training phases. (Full text)
