Download or read book Effects of Training in Strength Shoes symbol for Trademark on Speed Jumping Ability and Calf Girth written by Scott M. Pethan and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 72 collegiate males between 19-25 years of age were randomized into 1 of 3 groups (24 per group); a control group (CG), a strength shoe group (SSG), or a regular shoe group (RSG). SSG and RSG trained 3x per week for 10 weeks and followed identical programs as prescribed by the manufacturer. SSG wore the Strength Shoe [symbol for trademark] while RSG wore their own athletic shoes. All Ss were tested before and after the 10 weeks for 40 yard dash time (40 TIME), vertical jump (VJUMP), broad jump (BJUMP), and right and left calf girth (RGIRTH & LGIRTH). RESULTS: 22 C, 14 SSG, and 16 RSG completed the study. 7 of the dropouts in SSG were due to injury; 1 of 8 dropouts in RSG was due to injury. Attendance for SSG and RSG averaged 89% of possible workouts. Changes as a result of the program are presented below: (Please view the pdf for table information) SSG had significant (p .05) increases in RGIRTH and LGIRTH from pre to post testing. However, this change was not significantly (p .05) different than either C or RSG. There were no within or between group differences for 40 TIME, VJUMP, or BJUMP as a result of training. These results indicate that even though there was a tendency for training in Strength Shoe [symbol for trademark]s to improve performance, the increases were not significantly greater than training in regular athletic shoes. Additionally, the chances of injury appear to be greater when training in Strength Shoe [symbol for trademark]s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of barefoot and shod strength training on vertical jump height, lower body maximum strength, sprint speed, and agility were assessed in male high school athletes. All participants were pre-tested in vertical jump height, lower body maximum strength, sprint speed, and agility measurements. The participants were then separated into barefoot (n=15) and shod (n=13) strength training groups. After completing an 8-week strength training protocol, all participants were retested for each measurement of athletic performance. The barefoot and shod training groups showed no significant differences in vertical jump height, lower body maximum strength, sprint speed, and agility. This data showed there was no improvement in any of the measures of athletic performance between the barefoot and shod conditions when strength training for 8 weeks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for both the undergraduate/graduate level student as well as practitioners in the field, this text incorporates all programming aspects of strength and conditioning including training methods to develop muscular strength and power, flexibility, and the development of effective warm-up regimens. Performance analysis techniques in sport are introduced while the constraints-led approach to motor skills acquisition is presented as a framework that can guide the development of practices for the strength and conditioning practitioner. The biomechanical and motor skill acquisition concepts introduced in the text are then applied to fundamental movements including jumping, landing, and sprint running. Key Features: - Provides a solid introduction to biomechanics pertinent to the study of human movements - Discusses the performance analysis techniques in sport that can be used by the strength and conditioning practitioner to determine the physiological, mechanical, and technical demands of specific sports, and also the assessment of the techniques used in the execution of sport-specific skills - Includes a critical review of the different approaches to motor skill acquisition - Incorporates clear learning objectives and worked examples in each chapter that allow readers to apply the concepts to real-life situations - Discusses the application of the most recent research pertinent to concepts in each chapter - Includes appendices to expand on some of the more complex mathematical techniques required to perform biomechanical analyses and useful resources to aid the student in locating and evaluating scientific evidence.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The game-changing author of The 4-Hour Workweek teaches you how to reach your peak physical potential with minimum effort. “A practical crash course in how to reinvent yourself.”—Kevin Kelly, Wired Is it possible to reach your genetic potential in 6 months? Sleep 2 hours per day and perform better than on 8 hours? Lose more fat than a marathoner by bingeing? Indeed, and much more. The 4-Hour Body is the result of an obsessive quest, spanning more than a decade, to hack the human body using data science. It contains the collective wisdom of hundreds of elite athletes, dozens of MDs, and thousands of hours of jaw-dropping personal experimentation. From Olympic training centers to black-market laboratories, from Silicon Valley to South Africa, Tim Ferriss fixated on one life-changing question: For all things physical, what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results? Thousands of tests later, this book contains the answers for both men and women. It’s the wisdom Tim used to gain 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time. From the gym to the bedroom, it’s all here, and it all works. You will learn (in less than 30 minutes each): • How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails • How to prevent fat gain while bingeing over the weekend or the holidays • How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested • How to produce 15-minute female orgasms • How to triple testosterone and double sperm count • How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks • How to reverse “permanent” injuries • How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are more than 50 topics covered, all with real-world experiments, many including more than 200 test subjects. You don't need better genetics or more exercise. You need immediate results that compel you to continue. That’s exactly what The 4-Hour Body delivers.

One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
