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.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Furthermore, for example, the level of resistance throughout the range-of-motion on a back squat was not consistent. Standing straight up and taking the bar of the rack is near optimal resistance. Moving to the lowering phase of the exercise, the resistance decreases, and as you power up, the resistance becomes more exuberant throughout the body. This was very similar to using chains on a barbell. Future studies should incorporate some type of adjustment protocol to ensure proper fit and resistance for each participant, but more importantly maintain the integrity of the study by ensuring safety. Taking into further accounts such as neuromuscular development, technique, and individual assessment is also essential. Using the criteria sheet set forth in Appedix G for the back squat assessment was crucial for development, however, the overall technique was average at best. Even though the athletes were recreationally active and had previous experience in resistance training protocols, making the study longer is essential to building the structure base of the athlete neuromuscularly so we can see that overload principle take ahold. An eight-week study was not sufficient to see results because the subjects had not been coached correct technique on a daily basis and had not been motivated to improve their technique to see results. This was the first study to incorporate the use of the resistance training apparatus that had both plyometric and strength training exercises in a workout. The data demonstrate that there were no significant differences between or within groups over time. There is no evidence that suggests using a resistance band apparatus is better than not using one to train on this population. Without change to this pilot study design, the apparatus will not be of any significant value to tradiitonal weight training. If these effects are present in future studies, then adding resistance training apparatus to plyometric and strength training will not provide any additional benefits to power or agility performance over time.
