Summary

For the elderly using plyometric training, there are very few studies on strengthening the explosive power of the lower limbs of the elderly. For example, past studies have explored the effect of high-speed and low-speed plyometric training on the improvement of muscle contraction speed in the elderly over 60 years old. From the past researches, the study found that compared with low-speed training, High-speed training can not only improve muscle strength, but also effectively increase muscle speed and improve life functions. However, studies using plyometric training to improve lower body balance in older adults are scarce and the evidence is scant. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the clinical benefits of plyometric training for improving the balance ability of the lower limbs in the elderly.
