This book was released on 2009 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of no, short, or regular warm-up and Upper-Body Vibration (UBV) only or UBV+ short warm-up on swimming performance in Masters Swimmers. Six females and four males, aged 24-50, healthy master swimmers volunteered to participate in the study. Participants completed all assigned warm-ups (no, short, regular, UBV-only, or UBV + short) in counterbalanced order, rested for three minutes and completed a 50-yard (45.7 m) freestyle maximal performance time trial. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and heart rate (HR) were measured post warm-up and post 50-yd time trial. No significant difference (p = 0.987) was found among no, short or regular warm-up regarding 50-yd freestyle time (29.0 " 3.7, 29.0 " 3.6, and 29.1 " 3.4 s, respectively). No significant difference (p = 0.563) was found among regular, UBV-only or UBV + short warm-ups regarding 50-yd freestyle time (29.1 " 3.6, 28.9 " 3.4, and 29.1 " 3.6 s, respectively). RPE after no warm up (6 " 0) was significantly lower compared to after short (13 " 2, p

Download or read book Manual of Vibration Exercise and Vibration Therapy written by Jörn Rittweger and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the practical aspects of vibration exercise and vibration therapy. In addition, it describes the technical and physiological background, providing applied scientists and doctors with a deeper understanding of the therapeutic potential that vibration exercise holds. Having first emerged two decades ago, vibration exercise has since established itself as a widespread form of physical exercise, used in all rehabilitation areas. The goal of this book is to close the gap between scientific knowledge and practice. Given that occupational exposure to vibration leads to well-known unfavorable effects, the book is also dedicated to potential risks, hazards and contra-indications and of course, the application of vibration therapy in a number of specific conditions is presented in a clinically usable fashion. Given its breadth of coverage, this book will be of interest to physiotherapists and exercise scientists, but also to a wider range of physicians working in the field of rehabilitation.

Download or read book Different Warm up Modalities on Swimming Spring Performance written by Zied Abbes and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swimming is a very demanding sport which requires extreme muscle strength and endurance. Only fractions of a second may separate the winner from the opponents. The swimming performance, specifically, is influenced by complex interactions between physiological, morphological, neuromuscular, biomechanical, and technical factors. These factors not only depend on training, genetics, and opportunity but also can be influenced by a “warm-up,” recognized as a primary factor in athletic performance. Completion of a warm-up prior to a competitive exercise bout is a widely accepted practice within modern sport; athletes and coaches believe that warm-up is very essential to attain optimal performance. Consequently, this thesis proposes an easy method for coaches to implement during the competition warm-up or before the race in call room to improve the performance of their athletes. This technique is called post-activation potentiation (PAP). However, the effects of PAP and swimming performance remains limited. Consequently, our three studies contributed to the knowledge of this subject. Our results provided practical information for coaches to develop appropriate training paradigms for their swimmers. The revealed data reported the importance of PAP individualization to enhance swimming performance and described some basics that should guide the warm-up structure in the competition. Many factors can affect the PAP impact on performance such as the transition time between the PAP stimulus and the subsequent main activity (swimming race), the typological profile and muscle strength of swimmers (the percentage of fast, slow fibers...), the level of training experience and the load or intensity of the PAP stimulus. Nevertheless, PAP effect in swimming still lack the information to understand how it works and specially to allow better application in practice. However, it is necessary for each trainer or physical trainer to proceed by trial and error to determine, for each athlete, what is the optimal recovery time in order to enhance the performance. According to the literature, the potentiation effect can be measured between 1min to 12 minutes before the race. This duration should be short enough to maintain potentiation but long enough not to induce an accumulation of fatigue. The optimal average time is often around 6 to 8 minutes, which corresponds to the time the swimmer waits in the call room. However, many protocols are to be tested, science must continue to study this phenomenon to know its most effective use in swimming performance.

Download or read book Effects of Different Types of Warm up on Swimming Performance in Collegiate Swimmers written by Gytis Balilionis and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three different types of warm-up on swimming performance in NCAA Division I swimmers. Eight male and eight female swimmers utilized three warm-up protocols prior to performing 50-yard (45.72-meter) freestyle swim trials each trial in counterbalanced order and separated by 48 hours. The warm-up protocols consisted of: (1) no warm-up, (2) short warm-up (50-yards at 40% maximal effort and 50-yards at 90%), (3) regular warm-up (swimmers own pre-competition warm-up). Following the warm-up regimen, participants rested for three minutes and completed a 50-yard freestyle swim trial. Heart rate pre- and post- trial, diving distance, reaction time, post warm-up RPE, post 50-yard trial RPE, and stroke count were measured. Times for 50-yard swim were significantly (p = 0.03) different among warm-ups. Mean 50-yard time was significantly (p = 0.01) faster after regular warm-up (24.95 " 1.53 sec) compared to short warm-up (25.26 " 1.61 sec) and approached significance between no- and regular- warm-ups (p = 0.06); however, no significant difference was found between no- (25.19 "1.54 sec) and short warm-ups (p = 0.59) on 50-yard time. Individual data indicated that 19% of participants performed their best 50-yard time after short warm-up, 37% after no-, and 44% after regular warm-up. Heart rate was significantly (p = 0.01) higher after regular warm-up (100 " 13 b/min) compared to no warm-up (88 " 18 b/min) and approached significance between short- and regular warm-ups (p = 0.07); however, no significant difference was observed between no- and short warm-ups (92 " 19 b/min) (p = 0.32). RPE was significantly (p
