This book was released on 2017 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine the effect that vibration through self-myofascial release in combination with a dynamic stretch routine had on maximum power output. Twenty-one collegiate volleyball athletes agreed to participate in the study. The design was a randomized cross-over design in which all participants served as their own control by participating in all three interventions, which consisted of; a) dynamic stretch routine (DS), b) non-vibrating foam rolling combined with dynamic stretch routine (NVFR), and c) vibrating foam rolling combined with dynamic stretch routine (VFR). The foam rolling protocol consisted of rolling each limb bilaterally for 30 seconds; four and a half minutes in total, and was followed with the dynamic stretch routine. Subjects then participated in the vertical jump test, using a Just Jump Mat. Each participant was given one practice attempt, and three recorded attempts that were averaged, and used for statistical analysis. Testing days were separated by a minimum of 48 hours and were completed at the same time of day. A repeated measures ANOVA was calculated to compare the mean scores of the jump height and power for each warm-up condition. This study found there to be no significant difference between jump height due to the warm-up condition (F(2,40)=1.705, p=0.195, [eta][subscript p]2=0.079). This study also found there to be no significant difference between jump power due to the warm-up condition (F(2,40)=1.754, p=0.186, [eta][subscript p]2=0.081). However, this study did indicate a significant difference in the perceived effectiveness of the warm-up condition (F(2,40)=5.043, p=.011, [eta][subscript p]2=0.201, CI=[0.213,1.120]). In conclusion, the present study indicated that vibrating foam rolling combined with dynamic stretch did not have a significant effect on jump height in female collegiate athletes"--Leaf iv.

Download or read book The Science and Physiology of Flexibility and Stretching written by David Behm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stretching is a fundamentally important part of sport and exercise, playing a role in improving performance, and preventing injury and rehabilitation, but its scientific underpinnings have, to this point, been overlooked in book publishing. The Science and Physiology of Flexibility and Stretching is the most up-to-date and comprehensive book to cover the underlying physiology and psychology of stretching, critically assessing why, when, and how we should stretch, as well as offering a highly illustrated, practical guide to stretching exercises. Placing stretching in the context of both health and performance, the first section of the book sets out the science behind stretching, critically assessing the benefits, disadvantages, and roles of different types of stretching, exploring the mechanisms behind increasing range-of-movement through stretching and other methods, and offering evidence-based guidance on building stretching into warm-ups. In its second section, the book provides a step-by-step guide to static, dynamic, and PRF stretching exercises for beginners, through recreational athletes, to elite performers. Richly illustrated, and including an online resource, The Science and Physiology of Flexibility and Stretching provides an important scientific enquiry into stretching, and an invaluable reference for any strength and conditioning coach or student, personal trainer, sports coach, or exercise scientist.
Download or read book The Effect of Dynamic Warm Up with and Without the Use of the Vertimax on Athletic Performance in Collegiate Athletes written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research suggests that moderate to high intensity dynamic warm up exercises can enhance the excitability of the fast twitch muscle fibers through Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP), and prime them to play a greater role during jumping and sprinting. The purpose of this study was to determine if VertiMax jumps executed at the end of a normal dynamic exercise warm up will signifcantly improve short term athletic performance. Twenty participants were randomly placed in one of 5 groups for the duration of the study. The subjects performed one of the following warm-ups determined by random selection: dynamic warm-up (DW) or a dynamic warm up plus VertiMax jumps (DWV). On Day 2 all the subjects participated in the opposite warm-up routine then what they performed on Day 1. Each session concluded with vertical jump and lane agility testing. No significant difference from DW to DWV for vertical jump was found [t(19) = 1.242, p > .05]. No significant difference from DWLA to DWVLA was found [t(19) = 1.082, p> .05]. The mean on the DWVVERT was 26.13 inches (sd=4.37), and the mean on the DWVERT was 25.83 inches (sd=4.55). The mean on the DWVLA was 11.03 seconds (sd = .77) and the mean on the DWLA was 11.13 seconds (sd = .65). It was concluded that a warm-up that includes a high intensity activity at the end of a dynamic warm up does not improve vertical jump or agility greater than dynamic warm up alone.

Download or read book Acute Effects of Self induced Myofascial Release on Flexibility Power and Speed in College Age Males and Females written by Hannah M. Kollmann and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, self-myofascial release has gained popularity as a post-exercise therapeutic technique in regards to alleviating pain or muscle soreness. New developments have led many researchers and practitioners to examine self-myofascial release, in the form of foam rolling, pre-exercise. The effects of foam rolling, in combination with a dynamic warm-up, is not quite understood. Minimal research has been published on this topic. To date, there has been one article that examines how a dynamic warm-up and foam rolling can improve performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine if an acute bout of foam rolling in the form of self-myofascial release in addition to a dynamic warm-up could improve performance. Fourteen active male and female participants (N = 14; age: 20.93 ± 1.44; height: 68.04 ± 3.21, weight: 80.09 ± 22.82, BMI: 26.47 ± 5.89) with no prior experience foam rolling volunteered to engage in this counterbalanced, within-subjects design. Participants engaged in experimental condition groups: a general warm-up (GW) group, a dynamic warm-up (DYN) group, and a foam rolling (FM) group. Following each condition, participants performed a series of performance tests. One-way repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to compare the effect of the independent variable (group: general warm-up, dynamic warm-up, and foam rolling group) on the dependent variable (scores: flexibility, vertical jump, standing long jump, and sprint scores) to determine if significant differences exist. When the omnibus F-test statistic was significant, pairwise comparisons using Sidak comparisons were performed. The data indicated that the foam rolling group showed significant differences in flexibility and power (specifically in the standing long jump) when compared to a general or dynamic warm-up. Furthermore, no significant differences were found in the vertical jump or the speed test among the three groups. The results suggest that total-body foam rolling session may be valuable for improvements in certain aspects of performance. Implications from this study suggest foam rolling can be used before a workout routine.

Download or read book Acute Effects of Different Types of Warm up Exercise on Performance written by Michelle Genin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of different types of warm-up exercise on flexibility and jump performance. Seventy two subjects (38 males, 34 females) performed static stretching (SS), dynamic stretching (OS), self-myofascial release with a foam roller (FR), and no warm-up prior (C) to the sit and reach test (SR), vertical jump (VJ), and standing broad jump (SBJ). Outcome measurements included SR measurement, VJ height, and SBJ distance. Data was analyzed using a one-way repeated measures analysis of variance. The difference in pre and post warm-up SR measurements were statistically significant (p = 0.000) following SS, OS, and FR in comparison to C. There were no significant effects in VJ height (p = 0.995), or in SBJ length following any of the warm-up protocols (p = 0.820). It was concluded that SS, OS, and FR have no acute effects on jump performance, but may increase low back and hamstring flexibility.

Download or read book Differential Effects of Foam Rolling Durations on Flexibility and Athletic Performance written by Griffin Green and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate different foam rolling durations on lower extremity flexibility, muscular strength, and power in collegiate athletes. A total of 30 well-trained Division 3 football players participated in this randomized crossover design study. Each subject completed one day of baseline testing (no intervention) and two days of experimental testing (foam rolling protocols). The following tests were used to determine flexibility and athletic performance: sit-and-reach, vertical jump, broad jump, and isokinetic leg extension and flexion. Each subject participated in one trial per day with a washout period of at least 48 hours. The independent variables in this study were the short and long duration foam rolling protocols. The dependent variables were the sit-and-reach score, vertical jump height, broad jump distance, and peak concentric torque of the knee extensors and flexors at 60°/sec. It was hypothesized that compared to baseline, short duration foam rolling will increase sit-and-reach, vertical jump, broad jump, and isokinetic strength performances. Additionally, it was hypothesized that long duration will increase sit-and-reach and broad jump performance when compared to baseline but will lead to a decrease in power production for the vertical jump and isokinetic strength test. There were no significant differences between trials for: sit-and-reach, vertical jump, and isokinetic leg extension and flexion. However, short duration foam rolling significantly (p
