Plyometrics

Our participants performed depth jumps from 0.19 m, which is lower than the recommended range because our participants did not have previous plyometric-training experience. In addition, aquatic boxes used for the depth jumps in the pool are manufactured differently to be lower in height and prevent floating and slipping. The aquatic boxes are lower in height because of the difficulty of jumping onto subsequent boxes caused by the water's resistance. Our plyometric program's intensity of was low based on using experience not great with volleyball training participants in order to allow them to become familiarized with the type of exercises. As a result, the medium intensity might explain why we found increases in the performance variables from pre- to posttesting. Other studies used participants with higher fitness levels who therefore could sustain a higher intensity program (Chimera et al., 2004; Gehri et al., 1998; Potteiger et al., 1999; Islam., 2006). Researchers suggests Future studies should investigate using aquatic plyometric training with children less than 16 years old so it is safe and does not cause any pressure on joints and bones…

In the review of literature (Nakamura et al. , 2012) it states that doing plyometric for the period of 8 weeks improved the sprint time when it comes to 0 to 10m sprinting. This proves that doing plyometric will indeed help football players with their explosiveness since the times of 10m decrease by doing this kind of training. The coach also explained how to do the plyometric exercise mechanically, While they were doing speed and agility drills the coach Charlie Legg, asked the athletes to pay…

Lastly, the athlete will begin the advanced training. This phase aims to prepare the athlete for returning to sports participation by increasing their strength, neuromuscular control, and function in their sport specific tasks. For example, running, cutting, pivoting, and jumping. Aggressive strengthening, additional neuromuscular training and sport specific functional/agility training exercises will be employed. The athlete will begin to do exercises such as, shuffling forward, backward, and…

specific sport. Four types of performance training commonly used include: resistance, eccentric, isokinetic, and plyometric exercise (Joyce & Lewindon, 2014). These can be further categorized into aerobic or anaerobic power training strategies. These types of training will be the focus for strategies and outcomes of high performance training methods. Plyometric training involves explosive movements, transitioning from eccentric to concentric muscle contractions, and focuses on power…

stretching. Plyometrics Plyometrics or "plyos" for short, are a type of exercise designed to produce fast and powerful movements. They are generally used by athletes to improve performance in sports, especially those that involve speed, quickness and power. 1. Better Performance For those who enjoy sports like track and field, plyometric exercise can greatly benefit running speed. If running isn’t your game, perhaps you would like to punch harder or throw farther. Plyometric…

(Srivastva 2013) However a plethora of sources exist as to the optimal training technique required to enhance power, and in particular vertical jump height, in football players. Mainly the use of bounding and jumping involved in plyometric training has been an effective way of increasing power output in particular relation to vertical jump height. This was identified by Markovic (2007), in the meta-analysis of studies looking into the effect of plyometric training on vertical jump height, he…

a single direction in order to gain more stability before incorporating multidirectional tasks. The patient’s ankle stability had improved with one intervention, however, was limited in functional stability that required more dynamic control. Plyometric training was incorporated to improve dynamic ankle control and trunk control during sport specific activities. According to Kewwan et al., plyometric training is an effective way to improve ankle stability, functional ability and prevent…

The subjects would consist of female soccer players and female basketball players. These two sports were chosen because they involve the most jumping, plyometrics, cutting, and repetitive jumping. The study would focus on ten 6A high schools within a surrounding area. The focus would be on 6A teams due to the high intensity that the athletes play at. Data would be collected from both varsity and junior varsity teams for both sports from all ten high schools. Five of the ten high schools would go…

self-efficacy than the control group. This may seem useless information, but it has a significant impact on a hockey players training. When there is only so much energy to expend being able to watch a video and improve goal scoring a huge help for an already tired athlete. This study is backed up by another…… that show watching any sport, in general, is guaranteed to improve performance. This is because the same area in the brain is involved in viewing the action as well as doing the action.…

fitness industry forever. They have created new lifts, techniques, and movements, movements that are proven to be more safe and effective than regular lifting. Of course, I am referring to a cult called CrossFit. Crossfit is the incorporation of many different training styles including plyometrics, gymnastics, and Olympic lifts. Do a backflip, then run to the pull-up bar and perform muscle ups while flopping like a kipper, and finally do 15 hang-snatches; this is Crossfit. So, let's cut to the…
