Effects on the Power of the Young Athletes from INDER Medellín with a Modelating Plan

Abstract

A modelating plan for development was implemented to 83 subjects from nine different sport fields by the physical trainers from Team Medellín, by INDER (Local sports institution of Medellín). The completion was developed with all athletes, in the gymnasium located in the Atanasio Girardot Sport Complex in Medellín. The 83 subjects were distributed ramdonly using shuffle numbers (62 to the experimental group and 21 to the control group). From those 41 were male (49.4%), mainly from number two social standing, according to Colombia establishments (56 meaning 67.5%), with an age average of 15.9 years old (± 3), 53.2kg of body weight and 144.5cm height (± 53.7). The T-Force® (Dynamic measurement system) and the Smith cabin (A adjustable mechanical system for the knee angle) were applied to the power measurement to which three evaluators were trained for. This measuring procedure used progressive charges until the maximum power capacity was obtained. Due to Modelating theories a specific plan was applied, with strength-power component as the focused variant. The training plan for the experimental group lasted eight weeks, twice a week, beginning with three basic power micro cycles (with low intensity charges, 30%), then two strength-power micro cycles (middle intensity, 40-50%) and two power-speed micro cycles (middle intensity, 50%) at last. The results show a maximum power significant growth (p
