Abstract

Complex training is well known as a training strategy that combines weight training and plyometric training in the same training session to obtain the muscular ability and improve the sports performance. Take-off is one of the most important phases of motor performance in long jump through which the pushing power of the body is produced at an ideal angle and a high vertical speed is obtained with the least loss in the obtained horizontal speed from approaching to get the best flying distance in the long jump. The research aims at identifying the effect of complex training on the productivity of ability during the take-off phase in the long jump event. A training program for the complex training was applied on the experimental group sample which included 7 students, and the physical measurements, kinetic analysis and strength measurement platform were used. The results showed that the complex training improved the physical abilities of the legs’ muscles and the biomechanical variables of the take-off phase was also improved, where the horizontal speed was 7.86 m/sec., the vertical speed was 3.07 m/sec., the flight angle has improved and reached 70.99 degrees and the flight angle was 21.91 degrees, the take-off time, increased collision force, pushing power during the take-off, and increased long jump distance have improved as well.
