The effect of complex training with combined weight training and explosive movement on muscular performance in thai female national sepaktakraw athletes
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of complex training with combined weight training and explosive movement on muscular performance in Thai female national sepaktrakraw
athletes. Fifteen Thai female national sepaktakraw athletes were chosen by purposive sampling for this study. In addition to regular training program, all subjects had to undergo the course of
complex training with combined weight training and explosive movement training. The subjects were trained two days a week for a period of six weeks. The data such as legs muscular strength,
acceleration ability, flexibility, legs muscular power and agility, were collected three times, before experiment, after 6th week, and 4 weeks after the conclusion of the experiment. data were
analyzed in terms of means and standard deviations, one way analysis of variance with repeated measure, and multiple comparison by using the Turkey (a).
Results indicated that:
1. After 6 weeks of experiment, legs muscular strength, acceleration ability, flexibility, legs muscular power, and agility were significantly improved at the .05 level
2. There were no significant difference at the .05 level between the 6th week of the experiment and at the 4 weeks after the conclusion of the experiment in legs muscular strength, flexibility,
legs muscular power of standing long jump, and agility. However, acceleration ability, legs muscular power of role spike, and legs muscular power of block jump were significantly lower than the
6th week of experiment at the .05 level
Complex training with combined weight training and explosive movement was able to increase muscular performance in Thai female national sepaktakraw athletes within 6 weeks. However, muscular performance gradually decreased when discontinued the training or not continually trained within 4 weeks.
