Book Effects of a Neuromuscular Warm up Program on Specific Components of Athletic Performance in Youth Soccer Players

Download or read book Effects of a Neuromuscular Warm up Program on Specific Components of Athletic Performance in Youth Soccer Players written by Kristyn Victoria Large and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aimed to compare the acute effects of two independent warm-up (WU) protocols, neuromuscular warm-up (NMWU) and standardized soccer warm-up (STWU), on three soccer-specific performance tests in adolescent male and female soccer players. Substantial evidence exists of NMWU programs reducing Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries, particularly in soccer. Regardless of this reduced risk of injury, NMWU program adherence is low. Enhanced athletic performance has been reported to encourage consistent WU adherence more effectively than injury risk, especially in youth athletes. Therefore this study compared the effects of a NMWU and a STWU on physical performance in youth soccer players to encourage adherence and implementation. Following familiarization with a locally developed NMWU, 35 (11 female, 24 male) student-athletes (mean age: 14.7 yrs) from two high school-based soccer academies completed four sessions over a two week period evaluating the effects of WU on three soccer specific performance tests. Performance tests included T-test (agility), vertical jump (Peak Power Output), and 20-m sprint (acceleration and speed). The first week of testing consisted of NMWU familiarization, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1, and the collection of physical characteristics. The second week of testing consisted of two testing sessions, WU protocols were randomly assigned to the testing sessions ahead of time (session 1: STWU; session 2: NMWU) and were completed at the beginning of the session prior to testing. A series of five two-tailed repeated measures ANOVA were conducted to determine significant differences in WU means. The overall group demonstrated a significant increase in Peak Power Output (p=0.001) and agility (p=0.016) following the STWU compared to the NMWU. Neither WU demonstrated a measurable effect on 5m,10m, and 20m times. The findings of this research may have been influenced by the single use of the NMWU which may have limited the NMWU potential to enhance the three soccer-related performance tests. In order to explore the effectiveness of NMWU on performance enhancement as a means of improving its adherence in youth players, further research implementing NMWU over an extended period of weeks or months should be carried out, consistent with studies demonstrating NMWU impact on ACL injury risk in youth and adults.

Book Functional Kinesiology in Health and Performance

Download or read book Functional Kinesiology in Health and Performance written by Elena Mainer Pardos and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state of the world's health is critical. Customers seek trustworthy healthcare professionals because the health industry is rife with contradicting information and out-of-date science. Frequently, students are still being taught out-of-date material and a variety of tools without any recommendations for practical application, leaving them feeling overburdened, perplexed, and insecure. Both of these issues were addressed by the invention of functional kinesiology. Kinesiology is the application of the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, psychology, and neuroscience to the study of human and animal movement, performance, and function. It examines the mechanisms behind both human and animal movement, with particular attention to the roles played by the skeletal, joint, and muscular systems. Moreover, a foundation and practitioner training pathway is provided by functional kinesiology. The foundation training employs Kinesiology muscle monitoring and the concepts to evaluate the body's energy systems and rebalance them with safe and effective physical, electrical, emotional, and dietary procedures. Sports practice has health benefits in youth and adulthood. Functional kinesiology is about combining the techniques of kinesiology with cutting-edge research in functional nutrition and functional medicine. This method tries to work with the six pillars mentioned above for people to regain their health fully. Among them are diet, adrenals and stress, sex hormones, digestion, and immune and emotional transformation. Given the growing participation of athletes in team and individual sports worldwide, it is necessary to analyze the effect of kinesiology protocols on health and performance. To push forward innovative approaches, this Special Issue calls for original articles, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses that may substantially contribute to data analysis related to functional kinesiology, performance and health. This Research Topic pursues the following goals explicitly: Review of studies related to functional kinesiology of athletes in teenagers and adults. Review of studies on how athletes achieve better health or performance. Review of studies on the quality of training load with bio-motor ability and wellness variables.
