Abstract

Achieving peak performance in sports necessitates athletes having a high level of physical fitness. Among the key physical components, both overall fitness and movement fitness play significant roles in competitive sports, particularly those involving muscles. Football, a globally popular sport, demands explosive movements like kicking, tackling, jumping, sprinting, and rapid changes in direction. Training effectiveness is crucial for attaining success in football matches. This paper focuses on investigating studies that utilize plyometric training to enhance football performance. In order to search for articles, using the keywords plyometric training, physical fitness, performance football by using database from Google Scholar, PubMed Central, and Science Direct. 13 articles were obtained and analyzed from 2013 to 2022. Search results were arranged based on the format of P (Population), I (Intervention), C (Comparison), O (Outcome). A review of 13 articles concluded that there was an improved level of agility, speed, strength, explosive power, physical fitness, aerobic endurance, acceleration power, on the physical performance of football players. The goals and demands of each training session must be adapted through plyometric training, and each exercise can then be performed regularly to reduce the possibility of injury. Based on the results of the review, plyometric training has been extensively studied to understand its impact on football players. The training program, lasting 6-10 weeks with 2-3 sessions per week, can enhance physical performance by increasing explosive lower body strength, specific physical abilities, and endurance. Plyometric exercises come in different intensity levels, such as low, moderate, and high, and positively affect leg strength, explosive speed, power, aerobic capacity, body composition, flexibility, and muscle endurance in elite athletes and can be customized to target specific goals like speed or strength enhancement, benefiting football players.
