The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 6 weeks (conducted twice per week for a total of 12 sessions) of plyometric training with resistance bands on different neuromuscular characteristics among the sample of junior tennis players. Thirty junior tennis players between the ages of 12 and 14 years (age 13.5 ± 1.8 years; weight 51.3 ± 12.5 kg; height 162.7 ± 12.6 cm) were allocated to either the control group (standard in-season regimen) (CG; n = 15) or the experimental group, which received additional plyometric training with resistance bands (TG; n = 15). Pre- and post-tests included: anthropometric measures; 20 m sprint time (with 5, 10, and 20 m splits), squat jump (SQ Jump); vertical countermovement jump (CMJ); vertical countermovement jump with arm swing (CMJ_free arms); single leg (left) countermovement jump (CMJ_L); single leg (right) countermovement jump (CMJ_R); standing long jump (L_Jump); single leg (left) triple jump (SLTH-L); single leg (right) triple jump (SLTH-R); generic change of direction speed (CODS) (20Y test and T-test); reactive agility test (WS-S). After the training intervention, the TG showed significant (“p < 0.05”) improvements in CMJ (F = 7.90, p = 0.01), CMJ_L (F = 5.30, p = 0.03), CMJ_R (F = 11.45, p = 0.00), and SLTH-L (F = 4.49, p = 0.04) tests. No significant changes were observed in the CG after the training intervention. Our findings provide useful information for coaches to create a wide range of tennis-specific situations to develop a proper performance, especially for their player’s neuromuscular fitness.
本研究旨在探讨 6 周的弹振式训练（每周进行两次，共 12 次）结合阻力带对青少年网球运动员样本中不同神经肌肉特性的影响。30 名年龄在 12 至 14 岁（年龄 13.5±1.8 岁；体重 51.3±12.5kg；身高 162.7±12.6cm）的青少年网球运动员被分为对照组（标准赛季方案）（CG；n=15）或实验组，实验组接受额外的弹振式训练结合阻力带（TG；n=15）。预测试和后测试包括：人体测量指标；20 米冲刺时间（5、10、20 米分段），深蹲跳（SQ Jump）；垂直纵跳（CMJ）；垂直纵跳摆臂（CMJ_free arms）；单腿（左）纵跳（CMJ_L）；单腿（右）纵跳（CMJ_R）；站立跳远（L_Jump）；单腿（左）三级跳（SLTH-L）；单腿（右）三级跳（SLTH-R）；通用变向速度（CODS）（20Y 测试和 T 测试）；反应敏捷性测试（WS-S）。训练干预后，TG 在 CMJ（F=7.90，p=0.01）、CMJ_L（F=5.30，p=0.03）、CMJ_R（F=11.45，p=0.00）和 SLTH-L（F=4.49，p=0.04）测试中表现出显著的（“p<0.05”）改善。CG 在训练干预后没有观察到显著变化。我们的研究结果为教练提供了有用的信息，以便他们创建各种网球特定的情况来发展适当的表现，特别是针对球员的神经肌肉健康。
