The effect of six-week plyometric exercises with tabata protocol on some biomotor properties in U-16 male footballers

In modern football, physiological assessments are becoming increasingly important for optimal performance not only in adults but also in youth. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of six-week plyometric exercises with tabata protocol on some biomotor properties in U-16 male football players. The athletes were randomly divided into 2 groups as experimental (n:12) and control (n:12). The plyometric exercise programme was applied to the experimental group in addition to their own football training 2 days a week for 6 weeks, while the control group only participated in football training. The normality level of the data was determined by Shapiro-Wilk test. Independent Sample T Test for independent groups and Paired Sample T Test for dependent groups were used to analyse the normally distributed data. According to the research findings, a statistically significant difference was found in the pre-test - post-test measurement values of all performance tests of the experimental group and between all performance tests (T-Agility, 20-m sprint, vertical jump, flamingo balance and long jump standing) of the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the control group (p>0.05). In conclusion, it can be said that six-week plyometric exercises applied with Tabata protocol were effective in the development of some biomotor properties in U-16 male football players. In this context, it can be stated that plyometric exercises added to training plans can be used as an effective method in the development of performance parameters of athletes.

Investigating the Correlation Between Agility and Jump Performance Indices in Indian Contact Sports Persons: An Observational Study

Introduction: The use of the jump as a plyometric exercise is a way to improve jump performance. Additionally, as it requires abrupt stopping, starting, and changing directions, it might enhance agility. Thus, this study aims to find out the relationship between drop jump variables and agility in contact sports.
 Materials and Methods: A total of 30 national-level male athletes (age=20.06±1.94 years; height=1.67±0.06 m; body weight: 58.02±8.40 kg) participated in this study. A drop jump test was performed on the Kistler force plate and agility was assessed by using the Illinois agility test along with the agility t-test. The Pearson correlation test was used to find the significant relationship between agility tests completion time and jump height from flight time, reactive strength index, average power, average force, and contact time for drop jumps.
 Results: The results indicate a significant moderate negative correlation between jump height from flight time and agility test time (r=-0.501 with Illinois agility test, P=0.005, and r=-0.601 with agility t-test, P=0.001). A significant weak negative correlation was observed between average power and Illinois agility test time (r=-0.477, P=0.008).
 Conclusion: These findings indicate that improved drop jumps will interpret better agility movements or vice versa; therefore, individuals who perform sports that require agile movement benefit from agility assessment and drop jump training.

The Football Players on Plyometric Exercise: A Systematic Review

Achieving peak performance in sports necessitates athletes having a high level of physical fitness. Among the key physical components, both overall fitness and movement fitness play significant roles in competitive sports, particularly those involving muscles. Football, a globally popular sport, demands explosive movements like kicking, tackling, jumping, sprinting, and rapid changes in direction. Training effectiveness is crucial for attaining success in football matches. This paper focuses on investigating studies that utilize plyometric training to enhance football performance. In order to search for articles, using the keywords plyometric training, physical fitness, performance football by using database from Google Scholar, PubMed Central, and Science Direct. 13 articles were obtained and analyzed from 2013 to 2022. Search results were arranged based on the format of P (Population), I (Intervention), C (Comparison), O (Outcome). A review of 13 articles concluded that there was an improved level of agility, speed, strength, explosive power, physical fitness, aerobic endurance, acceleration power, on the physical performance of football players. The goals and demands of each training session must be adapted through plyometric training, and each exercise can then be performed regularly to reduce the possibility of injury. Based on the results of the review, plyometric training has been extensively studied to understand its impact on football players. The training program, lasting 6-10 weeks with 2-3 sessions per week, can enhance physical performance by increasing explosive lower body strength, specific physical abilities, and endurance. Plyometric exercises come in different intensity levels, such as low, moderate, and high, and positively affect leg strength, explosive speed, power, aerobic capacity, body composition, flexibility, and muscle endurance in elite athletes and can be customized to target specific goals like speed or strength enhancement, benefiting football players.

Effects of combined treatment with transcranial and peripheral electromagnetic stimulation on performance and pain recovery from delayed onset muscle soreness induced by eccentric exercise in young athletes. A randomized clinical trial.

Background: There is a common interest in finding a common consensus in the approach of athletes suffering from DOMS with the aim of accelerating recovery and thereby enhancing performance. The objective of this study was to observe the effects of a paired-associative transcranial and peripheral electromagnetic stimulation on young athletes suffering from DOMS, induced by 1h of eccentric and plyometric exercises. Methods: Forty-eight young athletes participated in this randomized control trial: 13 were assigned to the peripheral group (P); 12 were in the control group (Cont); 11 were assigned to the transcranial group (T) and 12 were included in the paired-associative group (Comb). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain perception and the mechanical Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) were the tools used to analyze the symptoms of DOMS. On the other hand, the Half Squat (HS) test evaluated with an accelerometer, and the 30m sprint velocity (30-mSP) test were used to observe the evolution of the sports performance of the lower limbs. All evaluations were performed before and after the eccentric exercise session that caused DOMS, as well as at 24-48, and 72h afterward. Results: The AS group improved the symptoms of the induced DOMS, since significant positive differences were observed in the VAS and PPT compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). In addition, the AS group showed a significant improvement in the HS and the 30-mSP tests (p < 0.001). Based on the results a treatment with both peripheral and transcranial electromagnetic stimulation improves recovery and performance in athletes at 72h, although these data would need to be verified in future research with a larger sample size. Conclusion: Paired-associative electromagnetic stimulation improved DOMS symptomatology, velocity, and sports performance in the lower limbs.

Effect of 4-week intermittent hypoxic exercise training for repeated vertical jump performance in untrained males.

To be successful in sports, it is critical to maintain a high level of muscular power throughout a game. Physiological adaptations induced by hypoxic exercise training would provide benefits for fatigue-resisting ability during repeated explosive exercise. The aim of this study was to determine whether a 4-week intermittent hypoxic exercise training program is more effective in improving power endurance during repeated vertical jumps (VJs) when compared with a normoxic counterpart. Eighteen young adult males were divided into two training groups: 1) normoxic training group (NT, FiO<inf>2</inf>: 20.9%, N.=9); and 2) hypoxic training group (HT, FiO<inf>2</inf>: 13.7%, N.=9). For both NT and HT, participants performed three sessions per week for four weeks. Each session consisted of a 60-min exercise session including strength and power training. A repeated VJ (40 reps/set, 2 sets with 5 min rest given between them) was performed before and after the training (pretraining and post-training). The HT group displayed an improvement in repeated VJ performance in a later phase of set 1 following the training (25-30 rep: pretraining 26.49±6.20 vs. post-training 30.55±5.37cm, P=0.0285; 30-35 rep: pretraining 25.08±5.29 vs. post-training 29.56±5.37cm, P=0.0064; 35-40 rep: pretraining 25.05±5.51 vs. post-training 29.28±5.71cm, P=0.0161). In set 2, repeated VJ performance in the later phase was also enhanced in HT following the training (P<0.05 for all). No changes in repeated VJ performance were seen in NT following the training (P>0.05 for all). Also, the HT group showed a trend towards a decrease in Fatigue Index in set 1 (pretraining 23.51±13.27 vs. Post 11.87±12.51%, P=0.1308) and set 2 (pretraining 29.11±13.66 vs. post-training 17.81±17.97%, P=0.1588) following the training. Hypoxic exercise training can be an effective training modality to improve fatigue-resisting ability during repeated explosive exercise.

A combination of split jumps and short sprints to increase the volleyball athletes’ leg muscle power and agility

pplying the right training methods can lead to optimal athlete performance. The use of one training method is common, and the use of a combination of two training methods is something new in training. The purpose of this study was to reveal the effectiveness of the combination of split jump training as a plyometric exercise with short sprint training on the leg muscle power capacity and agility of volleyball players. The research method in this research is a quasi experiment involving 40 samples (age: 20.85 ± 0.89 years, height: 178.69 ± 6.51 cm, and weight: 72.47 ± 8.02 kg). This study used a modified randomized pre-test and post-test design without a control group. The population of this study were volleyball players at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha). Purposive sampling was chosen to determine the sample, namely 40 male student players.The sample was given training combining split jumps with short sprints for 4 weeks with details of 12 training sessions (3 times a week). The Jumpa DF and agility t-test were chosen as instruments to measure leg muscle power and agility. The collected data was analyzed using a paired t-test with a significance level of 5%. Before testing the hypothesis, start by testing the normality of the data using the Kolmogorov-Smirnova test and the homogeneity of the data using Levene’s with the help of SPSS 16.0. The results achieved show that there is a significant influence on the leg muscle power (sig 0.05) and agility (sig 0.05) of volleyball players. Based on the results of this data analysis, it can be concluded that the combination of split jump and short sprint training for 4 weeks has a significant effect on the results of leg muscle power and agility in male volleyball players. Seeing the findings above, it is hoped that volleyball coaches can apply this training method, specifically in the pre-competition phase, which requires a short time to improve leg muscle strength and agility at the same time.

The experimental group applied the suggested plyometric exercises for six weeks, three training units a week. The researcher used Man-Whitney and Wilcoxon Signed Rank tests for data analysis. The results of the study revealed that applying plymetric exercises greatly and clearly improved the physical and skill levels for the experimental group, whereas the program didn't clearly improve the kinematic variables for both groups.

The Effects of Workload Difference Between Limbs in Plyometric and Strength Exercises in Reducing Asymmetry in Change of Direction Ability During Basketball Season.

Ujaković, F, and Šarabon, N. The effects of workload difference between limbs in plyometric and strength exercises in reducing asymmetry in change of direction ability during basketball season. J Strength Cond Res 37(11): 2282-2288, 2023-The topic of interlimb asymmetries has recently been extensively investigated; despite that, intervention for purpose of reducing them have been narrowly examined. The present study investigated the effects of maximal strength and plyometric resistance training program with 3:1 workload ratio (nondominant to dominant side) on change of direction deficit (CoDdef) asymmetry during the basketball season. Thirty-six highly trained male basketball players (19.3 ± 4.9 years) from different age categories (U-17, U-19, and senior) were divided into 2 groups: the control group ( n = 18) and the intervention group ( n = 18). The intervention group performed once-a-week training that consisted of strength (Bulgarian split squats) and jumping (single-leg countermovement jumps [SLCMJs]) part in which nondominant-to-dominant workload ratio was 3:1 during the 8-week period. Preintervention and postintervention testing included single-leg isometric squat, SLCMJ, 10-m sprint, and 505 test. Analysis of covariance results showed a statistically significant difference with large effect size ( p < 0.05; η2 = 0.26) when preintervention asymmetry was included as covariate. Post hoc analysis showed a statistically significant decrease in mean CoDdef asymmetry between preintervention (11.88%) and postintervention (4.47%) testing ( p < 0.01, effect size [ES] = -1.37). Isometric squat strength increased on nondominant side in the intervention group ( p < 0.05; ES = 0.77). No other performance or asymmetry variable showed significant change. In conclusion, a 3:1 workload of nonspecific movement task in favor of nondominant limb is an effective training strategy to reduce CoDdef asymmetry during basketball season.

Dietary Supplementation with Lauric Acid Improves Aerobic Endurance in Sedentary Mice via Enhancing Fat Mobilization and Glyconeogenesis

BackgroundLauric acid (LA), a major, natural, medium-chain fatty acid, is considered an efficient energy substrate for intense exercise and in patients with long-chain fatty acid β-oxidation disorders. However, few studies have focused on the role of LA in exercise performance and related glucolipid metabolism in vivo. ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation with LA on exercise performance and related metabolic mechanisms. MethodsMale C57BL/6N mice (14 wk old) were fed a basal diet or a diet containing 1% LA, and a series of exercise tests, including a high-speed treadmill test, aerobic endurance exercises, a 4-limb hanging test, and acute aerobic exercises, were performed. ResultsDietary supplementation with 1.0% LA accelerated the recovery from fatigue after explosive exercise (P < 0.05) and improved aerobic endurance and muscle strength in sedentary mice (P = 0.039). Lauric acid intake not only changed muscle fatty acid profiles, including increases in C12:0 and n–6/n–3 PUFAs (P < 0.001) and reductions in C18:0, C20:4n–6, C22:6n–3, and n–3 PUFAs (P < 0.05) but also enhanced fat mobilization from adipose tissue and fatty acid oxidation in the liver, at least partly via the AMP-activated protein kinase–acetyl CoA carboxylase pathway (P < 0.05). Likewise, LA supplementation promoted liver glyconeogenesis and conserved muscular glycogen during acute aerobic exercise (P < 0.05), which was accompanied by an increase in the mitochondrial DNA copy number and Krebs cycle activity in skeletal muscle (P < 0.05). ConclusionsDietary supplemental LA serves as an efficient energy substrate for sedentary mice to improve aerobic exercise endurance and muscle strength through regulation of glucolipid metabolism. These findings imply that LA supplementation might be a promising nutritional strategy to improve aerobic exercise performance in sedentary people.

The Effect of Combined Strength Training on Vertical Jump Performance in Young Basketball Players: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

ABSTRACT Combined strength training is performed with a combination of plyometric exercises and traditional strength exercises. This training method with different protocols (such as complex training or contrast training) is used to develop vertical jump performance in basketball. Combined strength training is based on the theory of PAP, and physiological changes in the nervous musculature allow for acute performance enhancement. Included and excluded studies were determined according to PICOS criteria. The search was performed on the electronic databases of Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus between September 1-7, 2022. The effect of combined strength training on vertical jump performance in basketball was compared with different training methods and as a result, a moderate effect was found in favor of combined strength training (ES=1.11, (95%CI 0.63-1.60), I2= 82%). As a result of systematic review and meta-analysis, it has been found that combined strength training applied in different forms in basketball is superior to other training methods in improving vertical jump performance. On the other hand, there is no superiority between the combined strength training protocols. Athletic performance specialists may improve jump performance by combining plyometric and traditional strength exercises in the same training season.

Prevention of Psychological Stress Induced-Ulcer in rats Treated with Fruit Extract of Gymnospora montana

Gymnosporia montana (Roth) Bemth. is a traditional herbaceous plant of Celastraceous family found in different regions of India. We have earlier reported its antiulcer activity in aspirin-induced, pylorus-ligation induced, and cysteamine-induced ulcer models. As stress-induced ulcer amount to a majority of clinically evident ulcers, it was thought worthy to investigate the effects of the ethanolic extract of Gymnosporia montana in stress-induced ulcer paradigm. Psychological stress was produced by intra-species emotional communication in a jumping box. Rats were randomly divided into two groups; one was used as the ‘sender’ group that received electrical foot shocks of 10 s duration with 50 s intervallic current for the shock was increased stepwise from 10mA to 25mA. The animals showed emotional responses such as abnormal squealing and jumping. The other group called the ‘responder’ group were able to observe the ‘sender’ group mice but were not subjected to the shocks. A separate group of sender rats was used on each day. The receiver group was exposed to sender group for three consecutive days at the end of which, they were sacrificied and were observed for the presence of gastric lesions. Separate groups of rats were treated half an hour before with Ethanolic extract (500mg/kg, p.o.) and diazepam (5mg/kg, p.o.) and the protocol was repeated. At the end the ulcer index, pH of gastric contents and gastric volume was determined. Further, hisotopathology was also performed. Results revealed a good anti-ulcer activity which was comparable to that of diazepam. In conclusion, the present study affords a significant contribution in confirmation of the forklore effects of a traditional remedy.

The Effect of Six Weeks of Specific Volleyball Training and Plyometric Exercises on the Physical Performance of Female Volleyball Players

The Impact of Core Complex Training on Some Basketball-Related Aspects of Physical Strength and Shooting Performance.

Exercises for the core can be categorized as promoting core-stability, core-strength, or functionality, as these are crucial aspects of most sports activities. This study aimed to examine the effects of using core complex training (CCT), complex training (CT), and core exercise (CE) on some aspects of muscle strength and shooting performance in basketball players. The 36 participants were divided into three groups of 12 each, and then the experimental approach was applied to each group. The groups were labeled as follows: the core complex training group (N = 12; age, 18.58 ± 0.67 years; height, 178.08 ± 0.79 cm; weight, 76.42 ± 1.38 kg; training age, 7.42 ± 0.51 years); the complex training group (N = 12; age, 18.50 ± 0.52 years; height, 177.92 ± 1.31 cm; weight, 76.67 ± 1.78 kg; training age, 7.33 ± 0.49 years); and the core exercise group (n = 12; age, 18.42 ± 0.52 years; height, 177.75 ± 1.29 cm; weight, 76.58 ± 1.38 kg; training age, 7.42 ± 0.67 years). For ten weeks, each of the three groups participated in three training sessions every week. This study investigates the impact of core complex training on basketball shooting ability and muscle strength. The eight-week program, consisting of weight training, plyometric exercises, and core exercises, yielded improvements in muscle strength and shooting accuracy. In tests of muscular strength and basketball shooting ability, the CCT group outperformed the CE and CT groups. The F value varied from 3.75 to 58.77, which are function values with a p < 0.05 significance level. The core complex training group exhibited superior muscle strength to that of both the complex training group and the core exercise group, in some areas. This is shown in the results of the javelin quadrathlon medicine ball test, the core muscle strength and stability test, the sit-up abdomen test, the sit-up back test, the standing long jump test, the Sargent jump test, and the shooting test (p < 0.005). Due to the effect of the core complex training program on improving performance efficiency and muscle strength, which affects the results of matches, we have recommended using the proven basic strength training program at other age stages, with the objective of including the concept, importance, and design of compound basic strength training in training programs used by basketball coaches.

Acute Effects of Different Conditioning Activities on Amateur Soccer Players.

Several warm-up activities are used to prepare soccer players for training and games. However, few studies have focused on comparing different activities (strength vs. stretching) in young and amateur athletes, especially for performance improvement in explosive actions. Thus, in order to compare the effect of four conditioning activities on jump and sprint performances, 12 soccer athletes (age: 19±0.8; weight (kg): 72.8±8.0; height (cm): 180±6.7) performed four warm-up activities: strength exercise (cluster system), combined exercise, plyometric exercise, and static stretching (control). The countermovement jump (CMJ) and 30-meter run (30-m Sprint) were performed 10 min after each experimental condition. A ONE-WAY ANOVA test of repeated measures was conducted with a Tukey's post-hoc test to compare the conditions. The strength conditioning activity protocol (33.68±2.87) showed a significant difference for the CMJ from static stretching (30.96±3.16) (p>0.05). There were significant differences regarding the 30-m Sprint test between strength conditioning (4.72±0.19) and combined activities (4.71±0.21) compared to static stretching (4.84±0.21) (p>0.05). In conclusion, the combined conditioning activity and strength protocols can be chosen in warm-up activities instead of static stretching (control condition) for improved immediate sprint and jump abilities in amateur soccer players.

Plyometric Exercises: Optimizing the Transfer of Training Gains to Sport Performance.

Rapid force production and its transmission to the skeleton are important factors in movements that involve the stretch-shortening cycle. Plyometric exercises are known to augment this cycle and thereby improve the neuromechanical function of the muscle. However, the training exercises that maximize translation of these gains to sports performance are not well defined. We discuss ways to improve this transfer.

Plyometric Jump Training Exercise Optimization for Maximizing Human Performance: A Systematic Scoping Review and Identification of Gaps in the Existing Literature.

Plyometric jump training (PJT) encompasses a range of different exercises that may offer advantages over other training methods to improve human physical capabilities (HPC). However, no systematic scoping review has analyzed either the role of the type of PJT exercise as an independent prescription variable or the gaps in the literature regarding PJT exercises to maximize HPC. This systematic scoping review aims to summarize the published scientific literature and its gaps related to HPC adaptations (e.g., jumping) to PJT, focusing on the role of the type of PJT exercise as an independent prescription variable. Computerized literature searches were conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS electronic databases. Design (PICOS) framework: (P) Healthy participants of any age, sex, fitness level, or sports background; (I) Chronic interventions exclusively using any form of PJT exercise type (e.g., vertical, unilateral). Multimodal interventions (e.g., PJT + heavy load resistance training) will be considered only if studies included two experimental groups under the same multimodal intervention, with the only difference between groups being the type of PJT exercise. (C) Comparators include PJT exercises with different modes (e.g., vertical vs. horizontal; vertical vs. horizontal combined with vertical); (O) Considered outcomes (but not limited to): physiological, biomechanical, biochemical, psychological, performance-related outcomes/adaptations, or data on injury risk (from prevention-focused studies); (S) Single- or multi-arm, randomized (parallel, crossover, cluster, other) or non-randomized. Through database searching, 10,546 records were initially identified, and 69 studies (154 study groups) were included in the qualitative synthesis. The DJ (counter, bounce, weighted, and modified) was the most studied type of jump, included in 43 study groups, followed by the CMJ (standard CMJ or modified) in 19 study groups, and the SJ (standard SJ or modified) in 17 study groups. Strength and vertical jump were the most analyzed HPC outcomes in 38 and 54 studies, respectively. The effects of vertical PJT versus horizontal PJT on different HPC were compared in 21 studies. The effects of bounce DJ versus counter DJ (or DJ from different box heights) on different HPC were compared in 26 studies. Although 69 studies analyzed the effects of PJT exercise type on different HPC, several gaps were identified in the literature. Indeed, the potential effect of the PJT exercise type on a considerable number of HPC outcomes (e.g., aerobic capacity, flexibility, asymmetries) are virtually unexplored. Future studies are needed, including greater number of participants, particularly in groups of females, senior athletes, and youths according to maturity. Moreover, long-term (e.g., >12 weeks) PJT interventions are needed.
