Abstract

The article discusses research investigating whether preadolescent boys exhibit plyometric trainability. They recruited 45 children of approximately 11 years who were randomly assigned to either a group that participated only in regular soccer practice or a group that participated in soccer practice and plyometric training (PT), which is a method for improving muscle ability to generate explosive power. Results showed that prepubertal boys exhibited plyometric trainability.
