Resumen

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of French Contrast training method applied for six weeks on sprint and vertical jump performance in football players. The research was conducted in experimental research model. A total of 20 people, 10 in the experimental group and 10 in the control group, voluntarily participated in the study. French Contrast training method exercises were applied to the experimental group twice a week for six weeks with 72 hours intervals. Limited rest (10 seconds) was given between exercises and four-five minutes rest was given between each set. The 30 m. sprint test and vertical jump tests were performed before and 6 weeks after the programme. SPSS 25.0 for Windows statistical package programme was used for the analysis of the data obtained. Wilcoxon signed-rank test, one of the non-parametric tests, was applied to look at the difference between the pre-test and post-test and the significance level was tested with p<.05. There is a statistically significant difference between 30 m. sprint pre-test and post-test for the experimental group (p=.00). Again, there is a statistically significant difference between vertical jump pre-test and post-test for the experimental group (p=.00). For the control group, there was no statistically significant difference in both 30 m. sprint performance (p=.57) and vertical jump performance (p=.64). A positive effect was observed in the sprint and vertical jump performances of football players as a result of the French Contrast training method applied two days a week for six weeks.
