[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...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute plyometric exercise with and without vitamin c supplementation on serum bdnf concentration in inactive men. in this semi-experimental study, 36 inactive men were randomly divided into four groups: vitamin+exercise (combination), vitamin c, exercise, and control. the exercise and combination groups performed the selected plyometric pro...

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...

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...

INTRODUCTION With regard to blood pressure responses to plyometric exercise and decreasing blood pressure after exercise (post-exercise hypotension), the influence of different workloads of plyometric exercise on blood pressure is not clear. AIM The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of a low, moderate and high workload of plyometric exercise on the post-exercise systoli...

The aims of the present study were (a) to determine whether the two types of complex training and vibration complex training would improve the individual phenomenon of post-activation potentiation (PAP) for every athlete in a team setting; and (b) to compare the acute effect of resistance and plyometric exercise, whole body vibration, complex training and vibration complex training on vertical ...

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 randoml...

Plyometric exercise is popular in commercial exercise programs aiming to maximize energy expenditure for weight loss. However, the effect of plyometric exercise on blood glucose is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of relatively high intensity plyometric exercise on blood glucose. Thirteen subjects (6 females age= 21.8 ± 1.0 yrs.; height= 163.7 ± 7.8 cm; mass= 60....

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in jumping ability and lower limb balance ability elicited by plyometric training and vibration exercise, of volleyball players with and without ankle injuries, which frequently occur among Korean professional volleyball players. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-eight volleyball players were divided into the following groups: plyom...

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...
