Abstract

The aim of this research is to prove the effect of plyometric program for the development of explosive force on the performance of long jump and triple jump in students. The research was conducted on a sample of 220 male testers aged 15 years ± 6 months, students at high schools "Sami Frashëri" and "Ismet Jashari" - Kumanovo. In this research, were used a total of 2 specific-motor variables for the evaluation of long jumps: 1) long jump –gathering technique (SMLJG) and 2) triple jump (SMTJ). The research had a longitidunal character, and lasted a total of 12 weeks, with 36 hours of training. In order to confirm the differences between the control and experimental groups, in the initial and final measurements, were used univariate and multivariate analysis of variance and covariance. From this research we can conclude that the variables for the assessment of specific motor skills do not have statistically significant differences between the control and experimental group in the initial measurements, while after applying the experimental model in the final measurements, we can see that the two specific-motor variables have statistically significant differences with probabilities 0.017 and 0.049 between the control and experimental group, which can prove that this training model has a significant impact on the development of explosive force in the performance of long jump and triple jump, and the same model can be used on elite athletes.
