The purpose of this study was to research on the effect of plyometric training on the velocity of
students from the Faculty of the Sciences of Physical Activity and Sport of León University. The
training lasted four weeks, with two sessions per week. Eighteen participants (23± 1 years of age)
were assigned to two groups; a Training Group, composed of fifteen subjects and a Control Group,
of five subjects. The results, analyzed in a Velocity Test of a 30m sprint, revealed significant
differences in the Training Group after the training sessions, the velocity having increased about 0-
10m., 0-30m. (p<0,05). With regard to acceleration, significant differences were also observed,
with an improvement of 0-10m. (p<0,05). These results showed that plyometric training can
increase the velocity about 0-10m. and 0-30m., reducing the time to cover said distance.
