| Abstract | ||
| This research aims to identify the effects of lower limb plyometric workouts on explosive strength, balance, and landing strategies on the floor exercise apparatus in artistic gymnastics. The researcher employed the experimental method with pre- and post-measurements of a single group, as this approach best suited the nature of the study. The researcher intentionally selected 10 junior artistic gymnasts as the main sample from those under 13 years old at Tala'ea El-Geish Club, registered with the Egyptian Gymnastics Federation during the 2024/2025 training season. In addition, 10 gymnasts were randomly chosen as an exploratory sample, representing the original community outside the main group, to determine the appropriate plyometric workouts related to the landing performance, and to standardize the training load for these workouts. The most important results were as follows: The improvement percentages in the physical variables ranged from 24.7% to 41.3%, with the highest gain observed in explosive strength at 41.3%. For the technical variables, improvement percentages ranged from 25.7% to 37.2%, with the most significant improvement seen in the (2nd Landing), reaching 37.2%. Additionally, the improvement in the technical routine under study reached 25.7%. The researcher recommends implementing plyometric workouts to improve physical variables, as well as landing strategies in artistic gymnastics. | ||
