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.

Book The Effects of Depth Jumps on University Football Players

Download or read book The Effects of Depth Jumps on University Football Players written by David Joe Christensen and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of depth jumps as a method of increasing squat maximums, vertical jump and 40-yard dash. A sub-problem was looked at to determine how individuals perceived their knees felt. Subjects utilized in this investigation consisted of 29 male football players at Eastern Washington University. Each individual was given a Sargent jump-reach test. The subjects were then divided into three groups based on pre-test vertical jump scores. Work-out routines were randomly selected for each group; Group 1 (depth jump & vertical jump), Group 2 (vertical jump), and Group 3 (control). Group one's work-out consisted of three thirty second sets of depth jumps using two 24 inch high boxes with a one inch pad on the floor. They also performed 3 X 15 seconds of continuous vertical jumps. Group two performed 3 X 15 seconds of vertical jumps. Group three performed only the required weight lifting program that groups one and two also did. The subjects worked out two times a week for nine weeks during spring quarter. Three 2 X 3 ANCOVA's were used to determine if there was significance between the three experimental groups in the vertical jump, squat maximum and forty-yard dash. No significance was found at the .05 alpha level for any of the three variables. A one-way ANOVA was used to determine the significance between the groups as to their perception of how their knees felt. With DF = 2 and F = 3.44, there was significance at the .05 alpha level. With this, it appears that Group 1 perceived their knees not to feel as good as Groups 2 and 3 throughout the study. This data would tend to make one wonder if the negative effects out-weigh the benefits of a plyometrics program. Participating in a training program twice a week for nine weeks without any significant improvements, would lead one to think that the time could be spent working on some other type of training. Only further research could answer this question"--Document.
