Plyometric training has become an important part of upper extremity rehabilitation protocols. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of plyometric training on the shoulder internal rotators (IR). Male subjects (N=34) were randomly divided into two groups: control or plyometric training. Pre/interim/posttesting measurements included: 1) kinesthetic measurements of shoulder IR at ...

The integration of balance and plyometric training has been shown to provide significant improvements in sprint, jump, agility, and other performance measures in young athletes. It is not known if a specific within session balance and plyometric exercise sequence provides more effective training adaptations. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of using a sequence o...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of whole-body vibration exercise and plyometric exercise on female volleyball players. [Subjects and Methods] Subjects were randomly allocated to two exercise groups (whole-body vibration exercise group and plyometric exercise group). The exercise was conducted three times each week for 8 weeks. Isokinetic muscular strength, jumping p...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyse changes taking place within selected kinematic parameters of the swimming start, after completing a six-week plyometric training, assuming that the take-off power training improves its effectiveness. METHODS The experiment included nine male swimmers. In the pre-test the swimmers performed three starts focusing on the best performance. Next, a plyo...

The study was designed to investigate the effects of plyometric training and resistance training programme on selected psychological variables among college level male basketball players. Fourty five college level male basketball players were randomly selected from affiliated colleges of Bharathiar University, Coimbatore. The age ranged between 18 and 25 years. They were divided into three grou...

This research evaluated the effects of resistance training with upper body plyometric effects on the performance of male basketball players. Sixteen males in the physical education and sport science faculty of Ataturk University were randomly determined into two groups. The experimental group performed a combined strength and plyometric training twice a week for six weeks. Also, experimental gr...

The purpose of this study was to compare symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage after an initial and repeated bout of plyometric exercise in men and boys. Ten boys (9-10 yr) and 10 men (20-29 yr) completed two bouts of eight sets of 10 plyometric jumps, 2 wk apart. Perceived soreness (0-10, visual analog scale), isometric strength of the quadriceps at six knee flexion angles, and countermov...

Plyometric training is popular among individuals involved in dynamic sports, and plyometric exercises such as jumping, hopping, skipping and bounding are executed with the goal of increasing dynamic muscular performance, especially jumping. Much less information is available on the effectiveness of plyometric training (PT) in badminton, where jumping high (e.g. forehand overhead jump-smash) is ...

Purpose: Doing plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion is an effective practice for rapid increase of muscles strength their hypertrophy. We evaluated the effects of plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion on electromyographic parameters. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 22 females were selected through convenience sampling method. They were random...
