Muscular ability is one of the most crucial physical elements in the long jump, which can be developed using plyometric training, which works to stimulate and mobilize the largest amount of muscle fibers during performance. Electrical stimulation of the muscles works to stimulate all muscle fibers involuntarily, which works to improve muscle strength. The research aims to identify the effect of plyometric training and electrical stimulation of the muscles in improving the physical abilities, biomechanical variables, and digital level of junior long jumpers. The researchers used the experimental approach by designing one group using pre- and post-measurement on a sample of (7) junior long jumpers in the Alexandria Governorate, Arab Republic of Egypt, under the age of 18. Years of age and registered with the Egyptian Athletics Federation. Physical and biomechanical measurements and the digital level of the jump were carried out using a force measurement platform and kinetic analysis for the progression phase of the long jump. The implementation of the training program took eight weeks with 16 training units, and the results of the research showed that the use of plyometric training and electrical stimulation of the muscles led to Improving the physical capabilities of the leg muscles and improving and developing the biomechanical variables in the stage of advancement and digital level among junior long jumpers. The researchers recommend applying the results of the research to long jump competitors in the Republic of Iraq, and conducting more scientific research on the effect of electrical stimulation on the electrical activity of the muscles of track and field competitors. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Good Health)
