There is a substantial evidence that plyometric training significantly increases muscular strength and vertical jump. Due to the vigorous nature of this type of training, however, there is a risk of incurring musculoskeletal injuries. Therefore, conducting plyometric exercise programs in an aquatic environment might lead to significant improvements in vertical jump with possibly a lower risk of...

the aim of this study was to study the effects of two fitness training programs with long and short sets with the same intensity and volume on physical fitness and performance factors in rugby elite players. 27 rugby players from rugby club of khorasan razavi gas industrial cooperative (age 24.29+3.172 yr and height 182.22+5.652 cm) participated voluntarily and were divided randomly into three ...

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...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of combined strength and plyometric training with or without superimposed electromyostimulation (EMS) on muscle strength and anaerobic power. Twenty-nine subjects were randomly assigned to weight+plyometrics+EMS (EP), weight+plyometrics (VP), and control group (CG). Weight+plyometrics+EMS and VP performed 2 plyometric sessions and 2 weight tr...

To achieve maximal force output, clinicians and coaches have been experimenting with upper extremity plyometric exercises for years, without sufficient scientific validation of this training method. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of an 8-week course of high volume upper extremity plyometric training on the isokinetic strength and throwing velocity of a group of intercollegiat...

The problem in this study is the low level of explosive power athlete's limb muscles. This aims to determine how much influence Plyometric training has on increasing leg muscle SSC Women's volleyball athletes. research an experimental study, which authors wanted know effect PGSD students, women's athletes, and SSC. method used a field experiment method. population as sample was 10 so called res...

[Purpose] To verify the effects of short-term plyometric training (PM) on body composition, flexibility and muscle power output in female Futsal athletes. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty female Futsal athletes (19.5 ± 1.29 years) equally and randomly divided into control and experimental groups were submitted to a sit-and-reach flexibility test, body composition measures and horizontal jump, at b...
