Book The Effect of Dynamic Warm Up with and Without the Use of the Vertimax on Athletic Performance in Collegiate Athletes

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 The Effect of Overload Warm up on Vertical Jump and Shot put Performance microform written by Ian Newhouse and published by National Library of Canada. This book was released on 1983 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of immediate temporary power gain, as seen in the vertical jump and shot-put performance through a warm-up of jumps and puts with added resistance. Twenty-two skilled jumpers and 11 skilled shot-putters volunteered to participate in the study. The jumpers were top Edmonton area athletes active in track and field, volleyball or basketball, while the shot-putters' skill levels ranged from 9 to 14 meters for females and 12 to 16 meters for males. Half of the subjects were female, and all were between the ages of 18 and 31. Each subject was tested under 3 different warm-up conditions for both the vertical jump and shot-put experiments: 1. Control "A", 1 pre-test trial/6 warm-up trials with no overload/ 1 post-test trial; 2. Control "B", 1 pre-test trial/no warm-up but a 7 minute rest/ 1 post-test trial; 3. Experimental, 1 pre-test trial/6 warm-up trials with overload, which was a 40 to 60 kilogram weight bar on the shoulders for the jumps and a 2 to 4 pound heavier shot for the puts/1 posttest trial. The 6 possibilities of different test sequences were randomly assigned to the subjects. In a supplementary experiment, 6 of the shot-putters warmed up with the heavier shot in an actual competition. The jumping experiment made use of high speed photography, a force plate, and integrated electromyogram. In the shot-put experiment, the only parameter measured was the distance of the put. From 18 possible warm-up categories, statistical analysis found the post-test trial to be significantly better (at the 0.05 level) than the pre-test trial in the following 6 categories: Sex Group Event Male and female combined Experimental Vertica1 jump Female Experimental Vertical jump Male and female combined Experimental Shot-put Male Experimenta1 Shot-put Male and female combined Control "A" Shot-put Female Control "A" Shot-put A second post-test trial was added for 6 of the subjects in the experiment, for it was felt that the timing of the movements might be offset by the overload warm-up. This brought a further significant improvement to the experimental group as the timing was apparently regained. Although the experimental group did improve to a greater degree than either of the controls, a significant difference.could not be found in comparisons between the three groups. Despite the inconclusive findings, the results did show promise that the proper application of resistance in a warm-up could aid skilled performance in explosive power events.

Book The Influence of a Resistance Training Apparatus on Vertical Jump and 40 yard Sprint Performance

Download or read book The Influence of a Resistance Training Apparatus on Vertical Jump and 40 yard Sprint Performance written by Michael Rebold and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose & Hypothesis: This research study was designed to examine the influence of an eight week, two sessions per week, training program incorporating use of the resistance training apparatus compared with a complex training program only on power. It was hypothesized that training with the resistance training apparatus would lead to greater improvements in the vertical jump compared with complex training. Participants: Twenty one, male and female participants, between the ages of 18-25, participated in a ten week study. Participants were eligible if they had no contraindications to exercise, were injury free, and within the past six months participated in regular plyometric and resistance training. Participants were instructed to continue their normal daily activities outside of the study. It was also advised that all participants maintain their current diet and that they refrain from using any performance enhancing supplements. All participants were informed about the experiment procedures and about the potential risks and benefits associated with the study, and signed an informed consent form, Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (Par-Q), and a Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (Godin, 1997) before participation. Participants were randomly assigned to a control group that did not participate in any exercises, an apparatus + exercise group, or an exercise group that performed the same exercises without the resistance training apparatus. Program Design:The design was an eight week plyometric and resistance training program. Pre- and Post-testing were completed during week one and ten, respectively. Total body power was measured by using the vertical jump test with countermovement arm swing. Velocity was also measured by using the 40-yard sprint. Weeks two through nine consisted of two workouts per week with both the apparatus + exercise and exercise groups intermixed. Sessions were divided into two groups, a morning and an evening Tuesday-Thursday group. Each group had approximately 48 hours in between workout sessions. Overall workout length was approximately 50 minutes, including a five minute warm-up, 40 minute plyometric and resistance training workout, and a five minute cool down. The warm-up consisted of two laps around a 200-meter track and static stretching of all the major muscle groups. Plyometric workouts consisted of four plyometric exercises including: depth jumps, box jumps, squat jumps, and calf jumps. The format for the sets being performed for the plyometric exercises were two weeks of each 12, 10, 8, and 6 repetitions. Resistance training workouts consisted of the parallel squat, hamstring curls, quadriceps extensions, and forward lunges. The format for the sets being performed for the resistance training exercises were two weeks of each 10, 8, 6 and 4 repetitions. The exercise group performed sets at 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, and 85% in successive weeks (weeks 2-8). The apparatus + exercise group performed sets at 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70% and 75% in successive weeks. The cool down followed the same protocol as the warm-up. Content of the workouts varied from week-to-week by using a variety of intensities and recovery times. Results: Statistical analysis was performed using a Repeated Measures ANOVA, assessing differences within groups and between groups over time. Results showed no significant difference from pre- to post-test in vertical jump (p = .03) and 40-yard sprint (p = .09). In the vertical jump from pre- to post-test the control group decreased by 3 inches, the apparatus + exercise group increased by 5 inches, and the exercise group increased by 1 inch. In the 40-yard sprint from pre- to post-test the control group decreased by 0.32 seconds, the apparatus + exercise group decreased by 0.09 seconds. And the exercise group decreased by 0.67 seconds. Summary: Duration may have not been long enough, flaws in the adjustment protocol, and the participants were already physically active prior to the start of the study. These aspects may have contributed to none of the results being significant from pre- to post-testing. Future research should focus on increasing the duration of the training period, examining the effect of variety of exercises to determine if different types of exercises may elicit different results, establishing an adjustment protocol, and replication of the study to observe training effects on males vs. females, trained athletes, and untrained individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of a warm up prior to competition or training is to get the athlete ready for the rigors of the session, game, or practice. This study was designed to investigate whether the sequence of a warm up would affect vertical jump performance in male division 3 collegiate athletes. A true experimental design was used. Subjects completed two different warm up protocols in the college varsity weight room separated by at least 48 hours. The first warm up protocol consisted of a static stretch warm up followed by a dynamic warm up. The second warm up protocol was a dynamic warm up followed by a static stretch warm up. The researcher performed a repeated measures t-test and found subjects who completed the static-dynamic warm up (27.974 ± 4.09) had significantly (p
