Download or read book Comparison of Hard and Soft Surfaces During Maximal Vertical Jumps in a Depth Jump Plyometric Exercise written by Michael W. Olson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine how landing surfaces used in a depth jumping (DJ) plyometric exercise affected kinematic and kinetic variables. Sixteen male and female college students, who were involved in recreational activities, performed 5 DJ onto a force platform alone (hard landing surface) and a 2.35cm thick mat placed onto the force platform (soft landing surface). The maximum angular position and angular velocity measurements were recorded and analyzed for the trunk segment and knee joint at the greatest point of knee flexion during landing using a video camera and an Ariel Performance Analysis System (APAS). Contact and flight times were established using data collected by a Bertec force platform. The vertical ground reaction forces and the rate at which these forces were generated were collected and analyzed between surface conditions. An alpha level of 0.05 was used in all statistical tests. A t-test was used for all statistical analyses. Results indicated no significant differences in the maximum angular positions of knee and trunk segments at landing (p = 0.424 and 0.266, respectively). Angular velocities of the knee and trunk segment at landing were not significant (p = 0.153 and 0.243, respectively). The contact and flight times were found to be nonsignificant (p = 0.263 and 0.397, respectively). The time to peak vertical ground reaction force was also found to be nonsignificant (p = 0.224). From the results, it can be concluded that a soft landing surface, 2.35cm thick, would be as effective at eliciting the desired traits (decreased joint flexion, decreased contact time, and increased flight time) of the DJ exercise as a hard landing surface.

Download or read book Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning written by Thomas R. Baechle and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2008 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its third edition, Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioningis the most comprehensive reference available for strength and conditioning professionals. In this text, 30 expert contributors explore the scientific principles, concepts, and theories of strength training and conditioning as well as their applications to athletic performance. Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioningis the most-preferred preparation text for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam. The research-based approach, extensive exercise technique section, and unbeatable accuracy of Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioningmake it the text readers have come to rely on for CSCS exam preparation. The third edition presents the most current strength training and conditioning research and applications in a logical format designed for increased retention of key concepts. The text is organized into five sections. The first three sections provide a theoretical framework for application in section 4, the program design portion of the book. The final section offers practical strategies for administration and management of strength and conditioning facilities. -Section 1 (chapters 1 through 10) presents key topics and current research in exercise physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, biomechanics, endocrinology, sport nutrition, and sport psychology and discusses applications for the design of safe and effective strength and conditioning programs. -Section 2 (chapters 11 and 12) discusses testing and evaluation, including the principles of test selection and administration as well as the scoring and interpretation of results. -Section 3 (chapters 13 and 14) provides techniques for warm-up, stretching, and resistance training exercises. For each exercise, accompanying photos and instructions guide readers in the correct execution and teaching of stretching and resistance training exercises. This section also includes a set of eight new dynamic stretching exercises. -Section 4 examines the design of strength training and conditioning programs. The information is divided into three parts: anaerobic exercise prescription (chapters 15 through 17), aerobic endurance exercise prescription (chapter 18), and periodization and rehabilitation (chapters 19 and 20). Step-by-step guidelines for designing resistance, plyometric, speed, agility, and aerobic endurance training programs are shared. Section 4 also includes detailed descriptions of how principles of program design and periodization can be applied to athletes of various sports and experience levels. Within the text, special sidebars illustrate how program design variables can be applied to help athletes attain specific training goals. -Section 5 (chapters 21 and 22) addresses organization and administration concerns of the strength training and conditioning facility manager, including facility design, scheduling, policies and procedures, maintenance, and risk management. Chapter objectives, key points, key terms, and self-study questions provide a structure to help readers organize and conceptualize the information. Unique application sidebars demonstrate how scientific facts can be translated into principles that assist athletes in their strength training and conditioning goals. Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioningalso offers new lecture preparation materials. A product specific Web site includes new student lab activities that instructors can assign to students. Students can visit this Web site to print the forms and charts for completing lab activities, or they can complete the activities electronically and email their results to the instructor. The instructor guide provides a course description and schedule, chapter objectives and outlines, chapter-specific Web sites and additional resources, definitions of primary key terms, application questions with recommended answers, and links to the lab activities. The presentation package and image bank, delivered in Microsoft PowerPoint, offers instructors a presentation package containing over 1,000 slides to help augment lectures and class discussions. In addition to outlines and key points, the resource also contains over 450 figures, tables, and photos from the textbook, which can be used as an image bank by instructors who need to customize their own presentations. Easy-to-follow instructions help guide instructors on how to reuse the images within their own PowerPoint templates. These tools can be downloaded online and are free to instructors who adopt the text for use in their courses. Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning, Third Edition,provides the latest and most comprehensive information on the structure and function of body systems, training adaptations, testing and evaluation, exercise techniques, program design, and organization and administration of facilities. Its accuracy and reliability make it not only the leading preparation resource for the CSCS exam but also the definitive reference that strength and conditioning professionals and sports medicine specialists depend on to fine-tune their practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Researchers have used depth jump evaluation to develop models to predict performance in jumping activities. An agreed upon model has not been established. The researcher examined maximum vertical displacement achieved (maxVDA) while manipulating ground reaction time (GRT). Male (N=6) subjects attempted three depth jumps with minimal instruction, followed by three sets of three jumps with a prescribed GRT. One-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was completed on the maxVDA for each technique. No significant difference was found in maxVDA produced, F(3, 22)= .18, p > .05. Frequencies comparing the rate at which subjects chose various techniques, the rate at which the various techniques produced the maxVDA, and the rate at which the chosen technique coincided with the technique that produced the maxVDA were examined. No significant differences were found for all frequencies. While the variety of jump techniques used did not equate to differences in jump performance, trends of individual subjects may still be beneficial to sport professionals. Researchers are encouraged to further examine GRT as a characteristic of a successful jump.
