Muscle Dynamics as the Result of Whole Body Vibration and Plyometrics
<p>BACKGROUND: Whole body (WBV) vibration and plyometrics are common training techniques which increase strength, blood flow, force and power. The effects these techniques have on sedentary population is unknown. It is our aim to assess the effectiveness of WBV and plyometrics on sedentary …

Running Economy: Improvements In Physiological Efficiency Attained Through Changes In Muscle Structural Morphology
… Participants (n=25) were placed into either a plyometrics-training or control group. All participants underwent similar testing before and after the 6-week training intervention: hydrostatic-weighing, vertical-jump, sit-and-reach, muscle stiffness, Vo2MAX, RE, lactate-threshold, biomechanics, …

Differences In Training Programs And Time Trial Performances Of Teenage Sprint Freestyle Swimmers
… were P1 (swim only, n = 20), P2 (swim plus plyometrics, n = 59), and P3 (swim plus plyometrics and weights, n = 8). Competitive swim experience ranged from novice to seven years or more (M = 5.01 years). One-way ANOVA's were conducted on post times, gain times and standardized gain times for …

The role of surface condition in athletic performance
… training stimuli during jump exercises (i.e., plyometrics). Additionally, knee motion strategy during plyometrics appears to be modified by surface instability and sex. Of note, irrespective of surface condition, trunk muscles only play a minor role for leg muscle performance/activity during …

Effects of Varying Warmup Stimuli on Running Economy
… warm-up stimuli (weighted-vest strides and plyometrics) on running economy (RE) over short (5-10 minutes) and longer durations (30+ minutes) of exercise in trained distance runners. <strong>Methods</strong>: Five recreationally trained male runners were recruited to participate in this …

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 …

Cross-education and neuromuscular factors relating to the prevention and rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injuries
… participants all completed a six week bilateral plyometrics programme to raise their functional performances above their baselines. The participants were then divided into two groups, a cross-education group (CEG) (n = 9) and a detraining group (DTG) (n = 9). The CEG completed a nine week …

The use of GPS technology to quantify the game demands of elite youth soccer: implications for training design.
… 7) was to examine the effect of isolateral plyometrics (PT) and strength training (ST) to correct bilateral imbalances in youth academy players. Players were separated into a PT or WT group and performed training over six weeks. The non-dominant leg improved in its performance in the A505 …
