Background/Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate effects a priming training session with either light or heavy load snatch and clean pulls on weightlifting performance. Methods: Twelve well-trained weightlifters (seven males five females) participated in study. athletes followed counterbalanced design comparing three treatments, including day rest (control) two sessions involving different derivatives—the pulls—which were performed 80% one-repetition maximum (1-RM) (LP)...

The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between muscle fiber type variables and sprinting, jumping, strength, power endurance performances in sprinters marathon runners. Furthermore, explored which variable influences athletes’ performance most discriminates from Body composition, vastus lateralis maximum isometric force, rate of force development were assessed well-trained (n = 15; age: 24.7 ± 4.1 years; body mass: 82.7 8.8 kg; fat: 11.3 4.2%) runners 26.1 3.2 69.7 4.3 9.5...

The aim of the study was to investigate effect two long-term reduced concurrent training modalities, in which participants performed one session every either 7 or 14 days, after 12 weeks systematic resistance and aerobic training, on lower extremities' muscle strength, power, morphology young females. After 12-week period, were assigned into three groups days (G7) once (G14), detraining (GD), for weeks, followed by additional detraining. following measured before, end frequency complete...

Background/Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate effect two long-term reduced concurrent training frequencies (incorporating power for upper and high-intensity interval aerobic lower extremities), in which participants performed one session every either 7 or 14 days, after 12 weeks systematic on extremities’ muscle strength, power, morphology young females. Methods: After a 12-week resistance period, were assigned into three groups days (G7), once (G14), detraining (GD)...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of 3 different eccentric-only power training volumes on muscle fiber type composition and performance. Twenty-nine females were assigned into groups performed 10 weeks either (low volume), 6 (moderate or 9 (high volume) sets/session 4 fast-velocity half-squats against 70% concentric 1-repetition maximum (1RM), followed by countermovement jumps (CMJs) after each set. Half-squat 1RM, CMJ height/power, isometric force, rate force development (RFD)...

People with Intellectual Disability (ID) constitute a vulnerable social group, making their physical health improvement primary concern to all involved care. We constructed and evaluated training intervention conducted twice per week for 4 consecutive months, consisting of activities games improve muscle strength, speed, balance flexibility. Participants were 38 adults intellectual disabilities divided into two groups: 1) the group (n = 19) who participated in exercise training; 2) control...

Lean body mass (LBM) is correlated with powerlifting performance in athletes competing different bodyweight classes. However, it remains unknown whether changes LBM are powerlifters preparing for a competition. Aim of the study was to investigate and Eight male (age 31.7±9.8years, height 1.77±0.06m, weight 99.2±14.6kg) three female 32.7±16.3years, 1.54±0.06m, 66.6±20.9kg), participated study. Athletes followed individualized periodized training programs 12 weeks aiming maximize their...

The purpose of the study was to investigate effect seven weeks inter-repetition rest vs. traditional strength training on lower body strength, rate force development (RFD), and vastus lateralis (VL) muscle architecture. Sixteen male participants were assigned into two groups: (IRRG) (TG) group. Both groups performed leg press exercise with four sets six maximum repetitions (RM) for sessions per week. IRRG added a 20 s period between single repetitions. Before after period, 1-RM in press,...

The purpose of the study was to examine effect seven-week inter-repetition rest vs. traditional resistance training on upper body maximum strength, rate force development and triceps brachii muscle architecture. Sixteen male participants were equally assigned into group. In both groups, included bench press exercise performed with 4 sets 6 repetitions, two sessions per week. Twenty-second employed for group only. Measurements before after period strength in press, isometric peak Maximum...

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different volumes fast eccentric-based training on body composition and lipidemic-glycemic profiles in females, as well explore relationship between change glycemic-lipidemic muscle fibre composition. Twenty-nine young females were assigned into three groups performed 10 weeks (2 sessions per week) either 3 (LV), 6 (MV) or 9 (HV) sets/session four velocity eccentric-only half-squats against 70% concentric 1RM, followed by maximum...

The aim of the study was to investigate relationships between vastus lateralis muscle fiber length and type composition in individuals with minimal exposure systematic resistance/power training. In sixty female physical education students (age: 21.03 ± 2.1 years, body weight: 59.8 9.7 kg, height: 166.2 6.5 cm), no experience training, lean mass, VL architecture type, countermovement jumping (CMJ) performance, isometric leg press rate force development were evaluated. Data analyzed for all...

Purpose. The study aim was: (a) to investigate the relationship between triceps brachii muscle architecture and upperbody isometric rate of force development (RFD), peak (IPF), maximum strength (one-repetition maximum, 1-RM) in bench press (b) explore whether might determine RFD, IPF, 1-RM stronger weaker participants. Methods. involved 21 males (age: 22.6 ± 4.7 years, weight: 76.6 10.2 kg, height: 1.79 0.07 m) with 3.4 2.1 years experience resistance training. They were divided into a...
