Abstract
training is a form of training that can be used to enhance athletes strength gains
(Davies, Riemann & Manske, 2015). However, research is lacking in this type of
training, especially in male soccer players. The purpose of this study was to
through pre and post training testing for one repetition maximum squat and bench
press, maximum number of pull-ups, broad jump and vertical jump. Significant
differences were found when comparing the pre and post scores of each test; squat
and vertical jump (p = 0.001). From these findings it can be concluded that
plyometric strength training does help male collegiate soccer players obtain
improve strength.
