Plyometric training is commonly used to improve athletic performance but it is unclear how each component of the muscle-tendon complex (MTC) is affected by this intervention. The effects of fourteen weeks of plyometric training on the passive stiffness of the gastrocnemii muscle and Achilles tendon was determined simultaneously in order to assess possible local adaptations of elastic properties...

Abstract Introduction Parkinson’s (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. It has motor and non-motor symptoms which directly related to these people’s decreased autonomy quality life. Aquatic physical therapy (APT) non-drug treatment option that resource complement functional rehabilitation and/or prevention. Objective To analyz...

Background and Study Aim. Athletic jumps are specific cyclically-acyclic movements that despite the good performance of techniques require from competitors a high level motor, specific-motor functional abilities. The aim this study was to examine response effect vertical horizontal plyometric training on explosive capacity kinetic variables in long jump athletes.
 Material Methods. partici...

The aim of the present study was to examine how to speed, explosive strength, and kicking speed are affected by a 10-week plyometric training (PT) program in elite female soccer players. Twenty adult players from Women First League (age=19.3±1.6year, height=163.3±4.7cm, body mass=56.6±6.1kg) were divided into plyometric group (PG) and control group (CG). Both the groups performed technical and ...

Marksmanship training involves a combination of classroom instructional learning and field practice involving the instantiation of a welldefined set of sensory, motor and cognitive skills. Current training procedures rely heavily on conventional classroom instruction often with qualitative assessment based on observation (i.e. coaching). We have developed a novel device called the Adaptive Perf...

The purpose of this paper was to determine the power produced by the lower limbs in the take-off phase in drop jumps (DJ) and the correlation between the power and load measured by dropping height after take-off. The research group (N = 17) contained students practicing football, volleyball, basketball, athletics, high jump, swimming and fencing. The individual characteristics 'power-load' of t...

Background. Cardiac rehabilitation program is aimed at reducing secondary risk factors and improving function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting run which ultimately may delay or reduce mortality in patients. A major component of cardiac rehabilitation program is exercise. Objective(s). This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of aquatic and dryland training on Perox...
