The effect of vertically- and horizontally-directed plyometric exercise on sprint running performance
… vertically- and horizontally-directed lower-body plyometric exercise with vertically versus horizontally biased ground force application, on 40-m sprint running time, vertical jumping height, body composition and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle architecture. Male (n = 19) and female (n = 20) …

The effect of wearing strength shoes during plyometric training on vertical jump performance
… of this investigation was to determine whether plyometric training in Strength shoes (Strength Footwear, Inc.) increased vertical jump performance, decreased elapsed time in the 40 yard dash and increased calf circumference. Thirty-one male and female college-aged students served as subjects. …

The effectiveness of resistance, plyometric and sprint training at different stages of maturation in male youth athletes
… compel coaches to reduce sprint (speed) and/or plyometric (power) training at this time. During the post-peak height velocity phase, athletes can be transitioned to more advanced training techniques, that are traditionally used with adults, if they possess the necessary coordination and …

The Effects of a Single Bout of Plyometric Exercise on Anabolic and Catabolic Osteokines in Girls and Adolescents
… (TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3) to an acute bout of plyometric exercise in girls and adolescent females. Twenty six females, 14 girls (10.5 ± 0.4 years of age) and 12 adolescents (15.0 ± 0.3 years of age) were recruited to participate in this study. Serum samples were collected pre, 5 min post, 1 …

Contemporary and novel assessment of biomechanics in plyometric and ballistic exercise and the implications for elite and recreational athletes
Jumping exercises, comprising plyometrics and ballistic jumps, are commonly used and important in the development of athletic performance. However, our ability to describe training doses with accurate and meaningful measures lags significantly behind other forms of training. Furthermore, the …

THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF A SINGLE SESSION OF PLYOMETRIC EXERCISE ON MARKERS OF BONE TURNOVER IN BOYS AND MEN
The study objective was to compare the response of bone markers to an exercise session consisting of high mechanical loading (144 jumps) between boys (n=12, 10.2 ± 0.4 years) and men (n=18, 22.5 ± 0.7 years). Blood samples were collected at pre-, 5, 60 minutes post-, and 24 hours post-exercise) to …

Strength factors associated with performance in change of direction tasks at different angles
… The relationship between isometric, ballistic, plyometric strength and CODP in different COD tasks is yet to be clearly defined. Thus, the study aimed to determine the relationship between different strength factors and performance during COD tasks at different angles. This information can …

Training adaptations in lower-body muscle structure and physical performance capacities of competitive surfing athletes
… the separation of strength and, gymnastics and plyometric training may not be best practice for adolescent athletes. However, a short duration combined strength, plyometric and gymnastics training intervention appears to provide a significant stimulus to evoke desirable adaptations in lower-body …

Comparison of Post-Activation Potentiation Methods on Power and Sprint Acceleration
… four interventions (dynamic resistance, weighted plyometric, isometric, or control) in a randomized order. A standardized warmup was given, followed by a baseline countermovement jump (CMJ) and 20-meter sprint. Following the warmup and baseline measurements, the subjects then performed one of the …

The effect of playing and training surface on vertical jump height in elite junior male volleyball players : a pilot study
… the effect of training techniques (especially plyometric) on jump height. However, previous research has not considered the optimum surface for these training techniques. The aim of this research was to determine which training and/or playing surface is most beneficial in maximising vertical …

Influence of physical training on knee valgus motion and physical performance abilities among adole[s]cent female basketball players
… training intervention (including a warm-up and plyometric, jump, flexibility, and strength training) would decrease valgus motion at the knee joint upon impact of a jump landing task. In addition, another aim of the investigation was to determine if the training routine would enhance physical …

The Acute Effects Of Alpha-Gpc On Hand Grip Strength, Jump Height, Power Output, Mood, And Reaction-Time In Recreationally Trained, College-Aged Individuals
… the following the dependent variables (fatigue, plyometric push-up, mood change, and reaction-time test). Participants reported lower levels of fatigue following alpha-GPC ingestion, yielding a significance of (p=0.019) when compared to baseline. The alpha-GPC group showed increased levels of …

The Effects of Uphill vs. Level-Grade High-Intensity Interval Training on Key Physiological Indices of Distance Running
… strength training, heavy strength training, and plyometric training. Recent investigations suggest these types of training methods improve distance running performance not by improving maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) or the lactate threshold but instead by enhancing muscular and neuromuscular …

A COMPARISON OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE COACHES STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PRACTICES 1997-1998 TO 2018
… 10.0 tests in ‘97-98. Six subjects prescribe plyometric exercises to “all players” 1.8 ± .4 days per week. During the in-season subjects prescribed resistance training 2.3 ± .8 days per week (n=6); similar to 2.8 ± 0.8 days per week in ’97-98 (p= .220). Subjects prescribed off-season …
