Effect of Jump and Skip Drill Training Using a Mini-Trampoline on Sprint Running Performance

抄録

This study aimed to investigate whether four weeks of jump and running drill training with a mini-trampoline affects sprint running, standing long jump, and drop jump performance. Fifteen healthy male students were assigned to either the trampoline training (T; n=8) or ground training (G; n=7) group. All participants performed jump and running drill training using either a mini-trampoline or over ground two times per week for 4 weeks. Before and after the training period, the participants performed a 50 m sprint run, a standing long jump, a drop-jump, and a ground reaction force evaluation test during a 20 m sprint. The pre- and post-training results were compared. The 50 m sprint record improved in both groups (P<0.01). The jump height of the drop-jump test decreased in the T group (P<0.05). The standing long jump distance did not change after the training period in either group. There was no significant change in impulse in either direction before and after the training period during the 20 m sprint run. Our results suggest that jump and running drill training using a mini-trampoline did not have any specific effect compared to jump and running drill training on the ground.
