Summary: | Muscle strength is an essential factor to perform effectively kicks, tackles, jumps, sprints
and prevent injuries in the soccer game (Benítez Sillero, J.D.; Da Silva-Grigoletto, M.E.; Muñoz
Herrera, E.; Morente Montero, A. yGuillén del Castillo, M, 2015). Whereas to simulate the explosive
strength needed in athletics, Verkhoshanski' introduced the Plyometrics (William D. Bandy, Barbara
Sanders, 2007) that (Bram Swinnen, 2016) confirms its. However, little research has been done to
investigate injury risk with plyometric training considerations. Where some authors suggest that
plyometric exercises should not be performed by children (Jason Brumitt, Human Kinetics, 2010) or an
individual who has not attained puberty (Edward McNeely, David Sandler, 2006). Design: the effects
of Plyometrics training on vertical jump performance have been widely researched. Where some authors
reported its effectiveness in vertical jump, while others reported no significant effects. Methods: for
propose, our experimental protocol was integrating in the program of the coach for a period of 6 weeks
as a 20 minutes’ time Plyometrics works per week session as additional exercises in the benefit of the
experimental group. Results: Our results confirm the benefits of Plyometric training to improve the
Vertical Jump Performance among young soccer players under U12s years where the experimental
group is accrual performance than the control group. Conclusions: the pubescent athletes can engage
in low- to medium-intensity Plyometrics.
