Introduction: At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Tang Chia-Hung broke the Taiwan record and won seventh place in the all-around. He mainly used the assistance of sports sciences to improve the level of lower limbs in somersaults and landings. Given the achievements of professional athletes, this study examined the effects of an eight-week intervention involving an unstable surface combined with vibration training (combined training) on the somersaults, landing performance, and muscle activation of professional gymnasts. Methods: This study recruited 16 junior college male gymnasts and randomly divided them into combined training (n = 8) and vibration training groups (n = 8). Both groups were performed for eight weeks, three times a week, with ten groups each time, and each group was trained for 60 seconds. Both groups performed somersaults, landing tests, and muscle activation tests before training and four and eight weeks after. The collected data were analyzed using mixed-design two-way analyses of variance (α= .05). Results: In somersault performance, the combined-training group’s take-off strength, RFD (rate of force development), and somersault height were significantly better after four and eight weeks compared to the pre-test, while the vibrationtraining group’s take-off strength and somersault height were significantly better. The combinedtraining group’s medial gastrocnemius, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis muscle activation were significantly better after eight weeks compared to the pre-test. There were no significant differences in landing and muscle activation performance. Conclusion: Combined training for four and eight weeks effectively improved the neuromuscular activation of the lower limbs in gymnasts, which is beneficial for improving somersault performance. However, it did not improve landing performance and muscle activation. It is suggested that future research should perform somersaults on unrestricted training grounds and identify key data indicators to help overcome problems in practical training. |
