Plyometric training is frequently used to improve the jumping performance of volleyball players. The aim present study was synthesize results different systematic reviews that investigated effects plyometric on Systematic research performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web Science databases, looking for randomized clinical trials. Methodological quality independently assessed by two authors using AMS...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of plyometric, strength and complex (plyometric-strength) training on the agility of young free style wrestler in ilam city. this study was semi-experiment and its statistical population consisted of 328young free style wrestler of ilam city. for this purpose, 40 subjects were randomly selected and divided into four groups (e...

Abstract This study was conducted to compare the muscle activation during traditional, clap and power push up among trained men. A total of thirty men that are physically active have at least one year experienced in fitness training having good techniques exercises were recruited as participants. Participants required perform all three types a randomised order avoid bias exercise sequence. Elec...

The aim of this study was to compare the kinetic and kinematic characteristics of plyometric drop-jump and pendulum exercises. Exercises were filmed (100 Hz) from the sagittal view and manually digitized; the data were smoothed and differentiated using cross-validated quintic splines. Ground reaction force data were sampled using a Kistler force platform sampling at 500 Hz. Differences between ...

Athletes who aim to improve both muscular endurance and power often perform exercises that involve similar joint actions under different lifting conditions, such as changes in the load or speed, which are implemented at different times during a periodized exercise program or simultaneously. The prescribed exercises are considered to recruit the same muscles even if the lifting conditions differ...

During sporting events, injured athletes often return to competition after icing because of the reduction in pain. Although some controversy exists, several studies suggest that cryotherapy causes a decrease in muscle activity, which may lead to a higher risk of injury upon return to play. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a 20-min knee joint cryotherapy application on ...
