The Effect of Special Exercises Using the Vertical Jump Device to Develop Explosive Power and Achieve the 200m Sprint for Juniors

Abstract

The progress in the field of sports and the selection of training methods and appropriate

The progress achieved in the field of sports and the selection of training methods and appropriate equipment are among the factors that are given great importance in modern sports training. Among these training devices is the vertical jump, which is a device that increases the individual’s explosive power and increases the endurance of the body’s muscles. The problem of the research is that there is a decrease in explosive power among 200m runners.

Freestyle This appears at the beginning of the race (start and take-off) and researchers attribute the reason to the lack of modern equipment that contributes to developing explosive power. The research aims to prepare special exercises using the vertical jump device for junior 200m freestyle runners and to identify the effect of these exercises using the vertical jump device on the level of achievement in the 200m freestyle event. The researchers applied.The experimental method was conducted using a single-group approach on players at the National Center for Sports Talent Care. Pre- and post-tests were conducted for the research variables, and the training sessions continued from 12/13/2024 to 2/7/2024. The researchers concluded that the exercises prepared using the vertical jump device have proven their importance and role in the sports field and that The Vertical Jump device has improved the performance of the 200m freestyle runners at the Ministry of Athletics. Researchers recommend using the exercises developed by researchers in the Ministry of Athletics' curriculum and working on developing the remaining components to achieve a higher level of performance.
