The effects of the plyometric program on the physical quality of the repeated sprint ability (RSA)‎ in senior handball players

Abstract EN

This study aims to show the impact of a physical preparation based on plyometrics on the development of the Repeated Sprint Ability (RSA) in senior handball players.

For this purpose, we used the experimental method on an intentional sample of (12) male handball players subdivided into two homogeneous (control and experimental) groups from Nadjm Djemila -Setif- for 8 weeks of training with 2 sessions per week, and for data collection, we used the physical tests (15 m sprint and RSA test).

After collecting the results and having treated them statistically, we conclude that the plyometric exercises had a big effect on the maximum speed and RSA for handball players, the study recommends the use of plyometric training in the process of physical preparation.
