Mojock and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CONCLUSION: These findings indicated that stretching did not have an adverse effect on endurance performance in trained women, which is contrary to the findings of our previous study in men. This could mean the endurance performance decrements previously associated with stretching are not related to increases in flexibility in trained women.

Download or read book The Global Effects of Differing Durations of Static Stretching Within a Full Warm up Protocol on Subsequent Voluntary Performance and Evoked Contractile Properties written by Jonathan Christopher Reid and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evidence for performance decrements with prolonged static stretching (SS)(>60s per muscle group) has led to a paradigm shift in optimal stretching routines within a full warm-up protocol. Many athletic teams and individuals have now incorporated dynamic stretching (DS) and dynamic activity (DA) rather than SS into their pre-exercise warm-up routines. However, much of the previous research examining SS did not incorporate all three components of a full warm-up protocol (aerobic, SS and DS/DA activity). Based on previous literature, the objective of the present study was to compare differing durations of SS (30, 60, and 120 seconds per muscle group or a control condition with no SS) within in a full warm-up protocol on various testing measures. Sixteen male participants (Sixteen males; 27.6 ± 2.15 years, 187.1 ± 15.3 lb. and 181.9 ± cm) with an athletic background and at least 2 years of strength and endurance training experience completed four conditions, each condition included a prior submaximal 5-minute aerobic warm-up on a cycle ergometer, one of the four SS interventions (0, 30, 60 or 120s per muscle group) and a subsequent DS/DA component. Results of the present study serve as evidence that prolonged durations of SS (SS 120s) per muscle group, even with the inclusion of a DS/DA component can impair subsequent performance in vertical jump height, force production and rate of force production, evoked contractile properties and potentiated twitch forces, and the interpolated twitch technique. Results also show that ROM continues to increase immediately following each of the three components within the warm-up (aerobic, SS and DS/DA) in all conditions.

Download or read book The Science and Physiology of Flexibility and Stretching written by David G. Behm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 196 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 Effects of a Sub maximal Warm up on Endurance Performance in Trained Male Runners During a 30 minute Time Trial written by Caleb Bazyler and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sub-maximal running warm-up has been shown to increase endurance performance; however there have been conflicting results. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a sub-maximal warm-up (SWU) on running endurance performance during a 30-minute time trial in trained male runners. Ten well trained male distance runners aged 21 ± 2 yrs with an average VO2max of 67.5 ± 4.7 mL/kg/min were recruited. Subjects reported to the laboratory on 4 separate days. On day 1, anthropometrics and VO2max were determined. On days 3 and 4, subjects were randomly assigned to either a SWU consisting of a 6-minute run at 45, 55, and 65% VO2max (2 minutes each) followed by a 2-minute walk at 2 mph; or sat quietly for 8 minutes (Control). Afterwards both conditions performed a 30-minute time trial in which they were instructed to run as far as possible. Average VO2 and resting temperature values increased significantly from pre-SWU (4.6 ± 1.1 mL/kg/min), (36.3 ± 0.5 C°) to post-SWU (12.8 ± 1.0 mL/kg/min), (36.4 ± 0.5 C°) but did not change in the Control (4.7 ± 0.6 to 5.0 ± 1.3 mL/kg/min), (36.1 ± 0.3 to 36.2 ± 0.4 C°). There was no significant difference in distance run between SWU (4.8 ± 0.3 miles) and Control (4.7 ± 0.4 miles). These findings suggest that a 6-minute SWU does not significantly affect endurance performance in well trained male runners during a 30-minute time trial.

Download or read book Concurrent Aerobic and Strength Training written by Moritz Schumann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an extensive guide for exercise and health professionals, students, scientists, sport coaches, athletes of various sports and those with a general interest in concurrent aerobic and strength training. Following a brief historical overview of the past decades of research on concurrent training, in section 1 the epigenetic as well as physiological and neuromuscular differences of aerobic and strength training are discussed. Thereafter, section 2 aims at providing an up-to-date analysis of existing explanations for the interference phenomenon, while in section 3 the training-methodological difficulties of combined aerobic and strength training are elucidated. In section 4 and 5, the theoretical considerations reviewed in previous sections will then be practically applied to specific populations, ranging from children and elderly to athletes of various sports. Concurrent Aerobic and Strength Training: Scientific Basics and Practical Applications is a novel book on one of the “hot topics” of exercise training. The Editors' highest priority is to make this book an easily understandable and at the same time scientifically supported guide for the daily practice.
