Ejercicios pliométricos para mejorar la fase de salto en jugadores de voleibol: Revisión sistemática

Abstract

During volleyball matches, there are situations that require immediate actions, from a well-performed serve to a spike and a block. Taking into account that the vertical jump is necessary to be worked in order to effectively resolve such situations, plyometric exercises can be performed because they have positive aspects to develop the capabilities of volleyball players. The objective of this research was to investigate the scientific production of plyometric exercises to improve the jumping phase in volleyball players. The process involved a search in the data sources (Dialnet, Google Scholar, Scielo, Redalyc, ERIC, and Science Direct), taking into account the recommendations presented in the PRISMA statement to make a flow chart. A total of 149 articles were found; after eliminating those that did not meet the proposed inclusion criteria, we had a total of 4 research articles suitable to be used. The information presented showed that plyometric training can be carried out through programs according to the level of each group to be trained, obtaining positive responses in the second evaluation after having carried out the program. As a conclusion, it is understood that the optimal exercises to perform are those related to jumps and squats with their body weight; additional weights or adaptations can be added.
