Download or read book Effects of Plyometric Jump Training on the Reactive Strength Index in Healthy Individuals Across the Lifespan a Systematic Review with Meta analysis written by Rodrigo Ramirez-Campillo and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Background The reactive strength index (RSI) is meaningfully associated with independent markers of athletic (e.g., linear sprint speed) and neuromuscular performance [e.g., stretch-shortening cycle (SSC)]. Plyometric jump training (PJT) is particularly suitable to improve the RSI due to exercises performed in the SSC. However, no literature review has attempted to meta-analyse the large number of studies regarding the potential effects of PJT on the RSI in healthy individuals across the lifespan. Objective The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to examine the effects of PJT on the RSI of healthy individuals across the lifespan compared with active/specific-active controls. Methods Three electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) were searched up to May 2022. According to the PICOS approach, the eligibility criteria were: (1) healthy participants, (2) PJT interventions of ≥ 3 weeks, (3) active (e.g., athletes involved in standard training) and specific-active (e.g., individuals using heavy resistance training) control group(s), (4) a measure of jump-based RSI pre-post training, and (5) controlled studies with multi-groups in randomised and non-randomised designs. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was used to assess the risk of bias. The random-effects model was used to compute the meta-analyses, reporting Hedges' g effect sizes (ES) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Subgroup analyses were performed (chronological age; PJT duration, frequency, number of sessions, total number of jumps; randomization). A meta-regression was conducted to verify if PJT frequency, duration, and total number of sessions predicted the effects of PJT on the RSI. Certainty or confidence in the body of evidence was assessed using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). Potential adverse health effects derived from PJT were researched and reported. Results Sixty-one articles were meta-analysed, with a median PEDro score of 6.0, a low risk of bias and good methodological quality, comprising 2576 participants with an age range of 8.1-73.1 years (males, ~ 78%; aged under 18 years, ~ 60%); 42 studies included participants with a sport background (e.g., soccer, runners). The PJT duration ranged from 4 to 96 weeks, with one to three weekly exercise sessions. The RSI testing protocols involved the use of contact mats (n = 42) and force platforms (n = 19). Most studies reported RSI as mm/ms (n = 25 studies) from drop jump analysis (n = 47 studies). In general, PJT groups improved RSI compared to controls: ES = 0.54, 95% CI 0.46-0.62, p 0.001. Training-induced RSI changes were greater (p = 0.023) for adults [i.e., age ≥ 18 years (group mean)] compared with youth. PJT was more effective with a duration of 7 weeks versus ≤ 7 weeks, > 14 total PJT sessions versus ≤ 14 sessions, and three weekly sessions versus three sessions (p = 0.027-0.060). Similar RSI improvements were noted after ≤ 1080 versus 1080 total jumps, and for non-randomised versus randomised studies. Heterogeneity (I2) was low (0.0-22.2%) in nine analyses and moderate in three analyses (29.1-58.1%). According to the meta-regression, none of the analysed training variables explained the effects of PJT on RSI (p = 0.714-0.984, R2 = 0.0). The certainty of the evidence was moderate for the main analysis, and low-to-moderate across the moderator analyses. Most studies did not report soreness, pain, injury or related adverse effects related to PJT. Conclusions The effects of PJT on the RSI were greater compared with active/specific-active controls, including traditional sport-specific training as well as alternative training interventions (e.g., high-load slow-speed resistance training). This conclusion is derived from 61 articles with low risk of bias (good methodological quality), low heterogeneity, and moderate certainty of evidence, comprising 2576 participants. PJT-related improvements on RSI were greater for adults versus youths, after > 7 training weeks versus ≤ 7 weeks, with > 14 total PJT versus ≤ 14 sessions, and with three versus

Download or read book Effects of a Short Term High Intensity Plyometric Training Regimen on Postural Control of Young Adults written by Malavika Suresh and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human vertical posture is an unstable system, requiring numerous mechanisms to maintain postural control. The ability to maintain upright stance without any assistance is a fundamental skill to be independently mobile. Plyometric exercises (such as jumping and hopping) are used by individuals involved in dynamic sports (athletes) to either enhance athletic performance or in rehabilitation of injured athletes to help them return to their sport as safe and as fast as possible. Short-term plyometric training has been shown to positively impact postural control and muscle power in athletes. There have been no studies which investigated this training in non-athletic individuals or considered postural stability changes as a result of this training. Positive changes in lower limb muscle power and therefore postural control, can be immensely beneficial to individuals recovering from injuries or individuals with impaired standing balance due to neurological disorders. This study investigated a short-term (10 week), high intensity, bi-lateral plyometric training regime on young adults to observe, analyze and characterize their motor control and postural stability. This study involved ten healthy participants, who underwent the training three times a week, for ten weeks. Measurements were taken twice per session: (i) pre-exercise and (ii) post-exercise. Their center of pressure (CoP) recordings were carried out using a force plate, and their muscle activity was recorded using six electromyography (EMG) sensors placed on the right and left muscle bellies of the vastus lateralis (VL), biceps femoris (BF) and lateral gastrocnemius (GL). Participants were instructed to stand on the force plate for 90s, eyes open, shoulder width apart and hands by their sides. The exercise itself consisted of four sets of 30s maximal effort, bi-lateral jumps, with 60s rest in between. It was hypothesized that over time, there would be a reduction in the overall center of pressure (CoP) velocity, postural sway and 95% ellipse area. Our second aim was to determine the effect of this training on muscle activity in the lower limbs by evaluating vertical jump performance, EMG-EMG coherence of synergistic muscles, and gross innervation input of a select muscle for the task. The results of this study indicate that plyometric training consisting of high impact bi-lateral exercises induced major improvements in lower extremity power and postural stability. There were significant changes in most CoP measures and EMG-EMG coherence. Therefore, we can conclude that short-term, high intensity plyometric training should be applied to impaired standing balance, and possibly included in rehabilitation programs to improve their mobility and quality of life.

Vishnuvardhan Reddy & Prof. L. B. Laxmikanth Rathod and published by Lulu Publication. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PLYOMETRIC TRAINING Over the years, the plyometrics has had many definitions and interpretations depending on whether one explains plyometrics, classical plyometrics or modem plyometrics. As loaded or explosive eccentric muscle action with no reversible, e.g. connection, muscle actions are used, plyometric exercise translates into ‘more duration’ for example, landing from a jump involves yielding or high eccentric landing where impact forces can surpass the propulsive forces produced during a jump The landing is plyometric where the athlete brace for support (by controlling the degree of hip , knee and ankle flexion) but does not proceed with a focus or propulsion process , e.g. preforming an exercise called a depth landing.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Background Among youth, plyometric-jump training (PJT) may provide a safe, accessible, and time-efficient training method. Less is known on PJT effectiveness according to the maturity status. Objective This systematic review with meta-analysis set out to analyse the body of peer-reviewed articles assessing the effects of PJT on measures of physical fitness [i.e., maximal dynamic strength; change of direction (COD) speed; linear sprint speed; horizontal and vertical jump performance; reactive strength index] and sport-specific performance (i.e., soccer ball kicking and dribbling velocity) according to the participants' maturity status. Methods Systematic searches were conducted in three electronic databases using the following inclusion criteria: (i) Population: healthy participants aged 18 years; (ii) Intervention: PJT program including unilateral and/or bilateral jumps; (iii) Comparator: groups of different maturity status with control groups; (iv) Outcomes: at least one measure of physical fitness and/or sport-specific performance before and after PJT; (v) experimental design with an active or passive control group, and two or more maturity groups exposed to the same PJT. The DerSimonian and Laird random-effects models were used to compute the meta-analysis. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the PEDro checklist. GRADE was applied to assess certainty of evidence.brbrResultsbrFrom 11,028 initially identified studies across three electronic databases, 11 studies were finally eligible to be meta-analysed (n total = 744; seven studies recruited males; four studies recruited females). Three studies were rated as high quality (6 points), and eight studies were of moderate quality (5 points). Seven studies reported the maturity status using age at peak height velocity (PHV; pre-PHV values up to − 2.3; post-PHV up to 2.5). Another four studies used Tanner staging (from Tanner I to V). The training programmes ranged from 4 to 36 weeks, using 1-3 weekly training sessions. When compared to controls, pre-PHV and post-PHV participants obtained small-to-moderate improvements (ES = 0.35 − 0.80, all p 0.05) in most outcomes (i.e., sport-specific performance; maximal dynamic strength; linear sprint; horizontal jump; reactive strength index) after PJT. The contrast of pre-PHV with post-PHV youth revealed that PJT was similarly effective in both maturity groups, in most outcome measures except for COD speed (in favour of pre-PHV). PJT induces similar physical fitness and sport-specific performance benefits in males and females, with a minimal exercise dosage of 4 weeks (8 intervention sessions), and 92 weekly jumps. Results of this meta-analysis are based on low study heterogeneity, and low to very low certainty of evidence (GRADE analysis) for all outcomes.br
