The subjects consisted of the 14 non-injured players age (x age= 19.9 ± 1.4yr, x height = 185.4 ± 4.9cm, x mass = 78.5 + 5.4kg) on the Springfield College Men's Volleyball Team. All subjects took part in their regular two-hour in season volleyball training session 5-6 times per week for 8 weeks. The subjects were randomly assigned into control and experimental groups. The control group participated only in volleyball practice while the experimental group participated in a plyometric training program twice per week following the regular volleyball training sessions. The plyometric program consisted of depth jumps, box drills, high knee bounding drills and repetitive vertical jumps. Vertical jump height was measured, using the Vertec, pre- and post-training. A 2 X 2 repeated measures ANOVA showed no significant difference (p>.05) in mean vertical jump height between the control and the experimental groups. A significant difference (p

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to generate lower body power is crucial for success in many sports. This is especially true with sports that contain sprinting and jumping. Training is a key component in generating and enhancing explosive power. PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of strength training and plyometrics training on the vertical jump. A five week program demonstrating the effects of strength training over that of body weight plyometrics will improve vertical jump performance for NCAA soccer athletes. METHODS: Subject were ten female NCAA division II athletes (soccer) volunteering. The study design was divided randomly into two groups. One group performed strength exercises (weighted) and the other group performed body weight plyometric drills. All groups were tested on the vertical jump before and after (pre/post) a five week training period. Both training groups attended a total of three sessions per week. All subjects were highly active and had previous experience in performing various jumps and drills from past sport activities. All subjects have had at least one year of experience in strength and plyometrics training, but had not systematically undergone consistent strength exercises and jumps. RESULTS: Subjects pre-means (SD)/post-means (SD) were the following: weight 64.5 (5.4)/65.5 (5.0); Height 168.7 (4.4) cm; vertical jump (cm) 46.8 (5.4)/49.5 (6.1); power (w) 3713.3 (240.1)/3896.7 (307.0). The WT group increased from pre/post by 3.8 cm. and the PT increased by 1 .5 cm. The findings of this study indicate there were no significant differences in the individual groups (WT vs. PT) but combining the two showed significant differences in vertical jump height.
