Weight training boosts power in female gymnasts, enhancing performance and training methods.
This study looked at how an 8-week weight training program affected the power factors of female gymnasts. The researchers divided 12 participants into an experimental group and a control group. They used statistical analyses to see how the training program impacted the athletes' performance. The results showed no significant differences between groups in long jump and high jump, but there were changes over time. In medicine ball throwing and vertical arm reaching, there were differences in changes over time and interactions between groups and measurement periods. The study suggests that longer training periods may yield better results and that modern training techniques should be explored for improving power in gymnasts.
