The effects of plyometric training with additional weight applied to football athletes-students on some physical and physiological features and chronic muscle damage

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects plyometric training with additional weight on physical performance and muscle damage findings in faculty sports sciences athlete-students. Physical tests blood samples athlete-students (male 23.41 ± 3.2 years old) were collected both from sample control groups at first week last twelfth week. During study, programs applied group (AWG) no (AG). By end week, players’ BMI body fat percentage together shuttle, yoyo, vertical jump, horizontal agility sprint tests. Blood also taken check markers (CK LDH). Results: According results performed weeks’ trainings (AWG), yoyo jumping found be significantly increased, while performance, decreased. test without (AG) was; significant increase jump decrease %. twelve trainings, has been observed CK pre-training (229,00 155,25) post values (242,33 193,67) LDH (169,75 40,85) post-training (174,33 39,12) values.
