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...

The purpose of the current research was to study the effect of a warm-up program including submaximal half-squats on vertical jumping ability. Twenty physically active men participated in the study. Each subject performed 5 sets of half-squats with 2 repetitions at each of the following intensities: 20, 40, 60, 80, and 90% of the 1 repetition maximum (1RM) load. Prior to the first set and immed...

The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of a caffeine-containing supplement on upper- and lower-body strength and muscular endurance as well as anaerobic capabilities. Thirty-seven resistance-trained men (mean +/- SD, age: 21 +/- 2 years) volunteered to participate in this study. On the first laboratory visit, the subjects performed 2 Wingate Anaerobic Tests (WAnTs) to determ...

OBJECTIVE Although musculoskeletal effects in resistance training are well described, little is known about structural and functional cardiac adaption in formerly untrained subjects. We prospectively evaluated whether short term high intensity (resistance) training (HI(R)T) induces detectable morphologic cardiac changes in previously untrained men in a randomized controlled magnetic resonance i...

Aerobic exercise positively impacts cardiometabolic risk factors and diseases; however, the most effective exercise training strategies have yet to be identified. To determine the effect of high intensity (interval) training (HI(I)T) versus moderate intensity continuous exercise (MICE) training on cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiorespiratory fitness we conducted a 16-week crossover RCT wi...

the ability to optimize muscular power output is considered as a basis for successful performance in the most sports. the aim of this study was to investigate changes in dynamic exercise performance following a sequence of preconditioning isometric muscle actions. twelve nonathlete, active female volunteers (age: 16±1 yr, height: 162±6.34 cm, weight: 60±9.21 kg) participated in the present stud...

In a physiological randomised cross-over study performed in stable hypercapnic chronic obstructive disease patients, we assessed the short-term effects of two settings of noninvasive ventilation. One setting was aimed at maximally reducing arterial carbon dioxide tension (P(a,CO(2))) (high-intensity (Hi) noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV)): mean ± SD 27.6 ± 2.1 cmH(2)O of inspirat...
