Book Plyometric Training  An Impact on Young Cricketers

Download or read book Plyometric Training An Impact on Young Cricketers written by Amandeep Singh and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plyometric training, when used with a periodized strength-training program, can contribute to improvements in vertical jump performance, acceleration, leg strength, muscular power, increased joint awareness, and overall proprioception. Plyometric drills usually involve stopping, starting, and changing directions in an explosive manner. These movements can assist in the development of agility, speed, aerobic capacity and explosive strength. Several studies have been confirmed the role of elastic energy in human movements. Today, Plyometric training is often used by coaches in many exercise programs as stated, because of the special features of sports such as weight drop and sprint running, the power factor, is of great importance. Hence, it is useful to evaluate its components. Although Plyometric training has been shown to increase performance variables, little scientific information is available to determine if plyometric training actually enhances agility, speed, aerobic capacity and explosive strength. Plyometric is a natural part of most of the movements, evidenced knee injuries, and running economy.

Download or read book Application of Isolated and Combined Effects of Plyometric and SAQ Training Combined with Skill Training on Performance Parameters of Osmania University Male Football Players written by Dr. K. 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.

Book Effects of a Short Term  High Intensity Plyometric Training Regimen on Postural Control of Young Adults

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.

Book Effects of Upper body Plyometric Training on Physical Fitness in Healthy Youth and Young Adult Participants  a Systematic Review with Meta analysis

Download or read book Effects of Upper body Plyometric Training on Physical Fitness in Healthy Youth and Young Adult Participants a Systematic Review with Meta analysis written by Exal Garcia-Carrillo and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Background Upper-body plyometric training (UBPT) is a commonly used training method, yet its effects on physical fitness are inconsistent and there is a lack of comprehensive reviews on the topic. Objective To examine the effects of UBPT on physical fitness in healthy youth and young adult participants compared to active, specific-active, and passive controls. Methods This systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and utilized the PICOS framework. PubMed, WOS, and SCOPUS were searched. Studies were assessed for eligibility using the PICOS framework. The effects of UBPT on upper-body physical fitness were assessed, including maximal strength, medicine ball throw performance, sport-specific throwing performance, and upper limb muscle volume. The risk of bias was evaluated using the PEDro scale. Means and standard deviations were used to calculate effect sizes, and the I2 statistic was used to assess heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed using the extended Egger's test. Certainty of evidence was rated using the GRADE scale. Additional analyses included sensitivity analyses and adverse effects. Results Thirty-five studies were included in the systematic review and 30 studies in meta-analyses, involving 1412 male and female participants from various sport-fitness backgrounds. Training duration ranged from 4 to 16 weeks. Compared to controls, UBPT improved maximal strength (small ES = 0.39 95% CI = 0.15-0.63, p = 0.002, I2 = 29.7%), medicine ball throw performance (moderate ES = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.43-0.85, p 0.001, I2 = 46.3%), sport-specific throwing performance (small ES = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.25-0.86, p 0.001, I2 = 36.8%), and upper limbs muscle volume (moderate ES = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.20-1.08, p = 0.005, I2 = 0.0%). The GRADE analyses provided low or very low certainty for the recommendation of UBPT for improving physical fitness in healthy participants. One study reported one participant with an injury due to UBPT. The other 34 included studies provided no report measure for adverse effects linked to UBPT.br
