Plyometrics ARTICLE 1 - http://www.jssm.org/vol5/n3/12/v5n3-12pdf.pdf THE EFFECTS OF A 6-WEEK PLYOMETRIC TRAINING ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to determine if six weeks of plyometric training can improve an athlete’s agility. Subjects were divided into two groups‚ a plyometric training and a control group. The plyometric training group performed in a six week plyometric training program and the control group did not perform any plyometric training techniques. All subjects participated

Plyometric training is a type of physical conditioning of healthy individuals that is still currently being studied over the last few decades. Plyometric training is best used to increase the performance of competitive athletes. It helps with giving volleyball players their explosive jumping power and softball players their sudden bursts of speed and agility. Plyometric training is not just used for competitive athletes‚ it is also used in group fitness classes‚ rehab for injury’s/injury prevention

Strength Training in High School Athletes Introduction For every high school athlete‚ there are multiple forms of exercise that can be incorporated in order to increase athletic performance. Each training program has different effects on the young individuals‚ but it is not certain which training method is optimal to maximize performance. A few training programs incorporated into an athlete’s workout would be plyometric training‚ agility training‚ and strength training. Strength training is defined

It was hypothesized that some characteristics of the positions adopted by long jumpers during the final strides of the approach are significantly related to the distance of the jump‚position variables were significantly related to the distance of the jump‚ through their relationships with the velocity of the approach and the vertical velocity of the CG at takeoff into the jumphe techniques used during the final strides of the approach‚ the role of elastic energy in the takeoff‚ the initiation and

Plyometric-Summary In the beginning of the article we see an analysis of soccer players‚ their strength and what is demanded by them during a game. In the text it is explained what plyometric is and how it works‚ what is the true nature of it and aim of plyometric training. They key words among the article are: depth jump‚ running velocity‚ muscle volume stretch-shortening cycle‚ jumping‚ and force–velocity test. For this experiment‚ 23 random players were used to do different exercises. These

The long jump is a track and field event in which athletes combine speed‚ strength‚ and agility in an attempt to leap as far as possible from a take off point. This event has been an Olympic medal event since the first modern Olympics in 1896 At the elite level‚ competitors run down a runway and jump as far as they can from a wooden board 20 cm or 8 inches wide that is built flush with the runway into a pit filled with finely ground gravel or sand.Each competitor has three attempts.The competitor

pushing or pulling action that causes a change of the state of a body. A long jumper who wants to increase their degree of force will need to increase their weight‚ but this can negatively affect their speed‚ so it is vital to get the balance right. The law of reaction also applies to movements that occur in the air. In these situations the equal and opposite reaction is shown in movements of other parts of the body. A long jumper‚ for example‚ will bring the arms and trunk forward in preparation

Pausanias describes the halteres as "half of a circle‚ not an exact circle but elliptical‚ and made so that the fingers pass through as they do through the handle of a shield.” Rules? Athletes jumped into a pit approximately 50 feet long and landed with their feet together. Officials measured a jump from the bater‚ a fixed point on the side of the jumping pit
