EFFECTS OF A UNILATERAL STRENGTH AND PLYOMETRIC TRAINING PROGRAM FOR DIVISION I SOCCER PLAYERS Eric Potter Old Dominion University, 2017 Director: Dr. Xihe Zhu The current thesis examined the effects of a unilateral strength and plyometric program on power (bilateral and unilateral vertical jumps), speed (20 meter sprint), and agility (Agility TTest) in collegiate soccer players compared to a t...

Background: Plyometric training is a hybrid between strength and endurance training. This allows musclesexert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal increasing power (speed-strength) whichensures better agility police cadets. Agility has been defined by capacity to retain or determine thelocation body shifting its direction rapidly sequence movements. Agility, speed explosivepo...

This study determined whether a 6-week regimen of plyometric training would improve running economy (i.e., the oxygen cost of submaximal running). Eighteen regular but not highly trained distance runners (age = 29 +/- 7 [mean +/- SD] years) were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. All subjects continued regular running training for 6 weeks; experimental subjects also did plyom...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of eight-week (2 days/week) training periods of plyometric exercises (PT) and neuromuscular electrostimulation (EMS) on jump height in young athletes. Squat jump (SJ), counter movement jump (CMJ) and drop jump (DJ) were performed to assess the effects of the training protocols 98 athletes (100 & 200m and 100m & 110m hurdles) voluntarily took ...

[Purpose] To examine how stretching, plyometric, and treadmill exercises influence the dynamic balance necessary for sports activities. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-two healthy subjects participated in this study. The subjects conducted stretching, plyometric exercises, and treadmill walking for set times over a period of three days. The subjects' dynamic balance was then measured. The measure...
