This book was released on 2009 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Complex Training on lower body power, measured by vertical jump, following a six week program. Furthermore, the project was also aimed at determining whether it matters that the first exercise in the complex set is a strength or power exercise. Thirty-six recreationally trained men and women ages twenty to twenty-nine years, from a college physical education course, were randomly assigned to three groups: squat and countermovement squat jumps, kettlebell swings and countermovement squat jumps, and a control group which did not participate in complex training throughout the six weeks. All participants were pre and post tested in vertical jump. The results reveal a statistically significant main effect difference in pre-post vertical jump measures within each group (p

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.
