ABSTRACT Introduction In badminton performance, athletes need to precisely manage the movements of mastered techniques quickly complete swing and regroup strength upper lower limbs hit ball quickly. Objective Study effect exercise on physical performance players according training. Methods 24 were randomly divided into limb, control groups. The limb group trained for eight weeks. final test was...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect strength training frequency has on improvements in lean mass and strength. Participants were 7 women and 12 men, age (χ̄= 34.64 years ± 6.91 years), with strength training experience, training age (χ̄= 51.16 months ± 39.02 months). Participants were assigned to one of two groups to equal baseline group demographics. High frequency training gro...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect and sustainability of 6 months combined aerobic/strength training vs aerobic training alone on quality of life in women after coronary artery by-pass graft surgery or myocardial infarction. DESIGN Prospective, 2-group, randomized controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS Ninety-two women who were 8-10 weeks post-coronary artery by-pass graft surgery or myocardial infarc...

This paper examines the effects of plyometric and resistance training on the explosive power and the amount of young male volleyball players’ strength in Guilan province. The participants include 45 volleyball players, 15-22 years old, which were randomly divided into three groups: two training groups and one control group. Among the two training groups, one was engaged in plyometric and the ...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To evaluate the evidence for strength- and balance-training programs in patients at high risk for falls, discuss how results of existing studies might guide clinical practice, and discuss directions for additional research. DATA SOURCES A search of PubMed and CINAHL® databases was conducted in June 2011 using the terms strength, balance training, falls, elderly, and neuropa...

Cross-sectional studies revealed that inclusion of unstable elements in core-strengthening exercises produced increases in trunk muscle activity and thus potential extra stimuli to induce more pronounced performance enhancements in youth athletes. Thus, the purpose of the study was to investigate changes in neuromuscular and athletic performance following core strength training performed on uns...

BSTRACT Traditional high-load resistance strength training induces hypertrophy of skeletal muscle and increases maximal strength, whilst low-load resistance training protocols typically induces local muscular endurance without any significant increase in hypertrophy or strength. However, recent evidence suggests that when low-load resistance strength training protocols are combined with vascula...
