Plyometric training is a popular method utilized by strength and conditioning professionals to improve aspects of functional strength. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of extrinsic verbal cueing on the specificity of jumping movements. Thirteen participants (age: 23.4 ± 1.9 yr, body height: 170.3 ± 15.1 cm, body mass: 70.3 ± 23.8 kg,) performed four types of jumps: a depth...

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...

Plyometric training (PT) is a technique used to increase strength and explosiveness. It consists of physical exercises in which muscles exert maximum force at short intervals to increase dynamic performances. In such a training, muscles undergo a rapid elongation followed by an immediate shortening (stretch-shortening contraction), utilizing the elastic energy stored during the stretching phase...

Plyometric training is commonly used to improve athletic performance but it is unclear how each component of the muscle-tendon complex (MTC) is affected by this intervention. The effects of fourteen weeks of plyometric training on the passive stiffness of the gastrocnemii muscle and Achilles tendon was determined simultaneously in order to assess possible local adaptations of elastic properties...

Background: Recent research has focused on the effects of different types strength training performance and body profile adolescent athletes. However, short-term plyometric jump rope athletic in basketball players are a matter curiosity. Objectives: The aim this study was to examine players. Methods: Twenty-two aged 13 - 15 were randomly divided into two groups as (n = 11) group 11). All partic...

BACKGROUND Hamstring injuries are the most common muscle injury in amateur and professional soccer. Most hamstring injuries occur in the late swing phase, when the hamstring undergoes a stretch-shortening cycle and the hamstring does a significant amount of eccentric work. The incidence of these injuries has not decreased despite there being effective injury prevention programmes focusing on im...

The study purpose was to analyze the effectiveness of different effects knee tuck jump and hurdle plyometric training using beach sand on power leg muscle strength in young adult males. Materials methods. A total 30 males were enrolled this given (KTJT), (HJPT). Plyometric is carried out with an intensity 80-100% 1RM, three sets 12 repetitions each set, a frequency times week for six weeks. mea...

Purpose: to determine the effect of water plyometric training on such components motor skills as explosive power, agility and speed in young players. Develop practical recommendations for building a process improve athletes.
 Material methods: when divided into groups players was used parallel randomized method with creation experimental control equal 20 each group (age 16.25 ± 1.0 years, ...

Non-sport-specific strength training is a way to increase endurance performance; however, which kind of exercise (maximal, plyometric, explosive or resistance training) gives the best results still under debate. Scientific publications were analyzed according PRISMA checklist and statement. The initial search yielded 500 studies, 17 included in this review using PEDro Scale. Maximal boosted abi...
