Use of Plyometric Training Method in The Development of Quickness in Handball : Undergraduate Thesis

Rukomet je fizički zahtjevan kontaktni timski sport koji se sastoji od brzih, intenzivnih i dinamičnih aktivnosti poput ponavljanih ubrzanja, sprinta, skokova, bacanja, brzih promjena smjera kretanja i učestalog fizičkog kontakta između igrača. Pliometrijska metoda treninga koristi se duži niz godina za poboljšanje kondicijske pripreme u rukometu, pogotovo u svrhu poboljšanja izvedbe okomitog skoka. Pliometrijske vježbe kombiniraju snagu i brzinu kretanja kako bi proizvele snagu, te dokazano poboljšavaju performanse skoka. Najčešće primjenjivane pliometrijske vježbe u rukometu su poskoci, preskoci, te dubinski skokovi s različitih visina.Handball is a physically demanding contact team sport consisting of fast, intense and dynamic activities such as repeated accelerations, sprints, jumps, throws, rapid changes of direction and frequent physical contact between players. The plyometric training method has been used for many years to improve fitness preparation in handball, especially for the purpose of improving vertical jump performance. Plyometric exercises combine strength and speed of movement to produce strength, and have been proven to improve jump performance. The most commonly used plyometric exercises in handball are jumps, jumps, and depth jumps from different heights
