Purpose: This study was accomplished to investigate the electromyographic activity of 3 plyometric exercises (tuck jump and single leg hop in sagittal and frontal planes) to find out the appropriate procedures for strengthening biceps femoris and gluteus medius muscles. Methods: The kind of study is applied and data were collected from the supervised exercises of 15 male athletes without i...

Background: Plyometric training is a hybrid between strength and endurance training. This allows musclesexert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal increasing power (speed-strength) whichensures better agility police cadets. Agility has been defined by capacity to retain or determine thelocation body shifting its direction rapidly sequence movements. Agility, speed explosivepo...

Heavy-resistance strength training results in marked increases in maximal muscle strength and power in both athletes, untrained subjects and elderly individuals. The addition of eccentric overload training (loads > 100% 1RM) appears to evoke enhanced gains in these parameters. Further, the use of plyometric training evokes marked increases in maximal muscle power. The adaptive physiological mec...

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...

In using an ISP in conjunction with a structured rehabilitation program, the athlete should be able to return to full competition status. The general guidelines and specific programs outlined are used to minimize the chance of reinjury and to facilitate the return of function and confidence in the athlete. The program and its progression should be modified to meet the specific needs of each ind...

PURPOSE To assess the effect that postexercise immersion in water has on subsequent exercise performance. METHODS A literary search and review of water-immersion and performance studies was conducted. RESULTS Seven articles were examined. In 2, significant benefits to performance were observed. Those 2 articles revealed a small to large effect on jump performance and isometric strength. PRA...
