Compression garments are frequently used to facilitate recovery from strenuous exercise.To identify the effects of 2 different grades compression garment on indices after exercise.Forty-five recreationally active participants (n = 26 male and n 19 female) completed an eccentric-exercise protocol consisting 100 drop jumps, which they were matched for body mass randomly but equally assigned a high-compression pressure (HI) group, low-compression (LOW) or sham ultrasound group (SHAM)....

Weightlifting shoes (WS) are often used by athletes to facilitate their squat technique; however, the nature of these benefits is not well understood. In this study, effects footwear and load on mechanics squatting were assessed for 32 participants (age: 25.4 ± 4.4 years; mass 72.87 11.35 kg) grouped sex experience. Participants completed loaded unloaded back squats wearing both WS athletic (AS). Data collected utilising a 3D motion capture system synchronised with force platform calculate...

The purpose of the study was to examine health effects 8 weeks recreational badminton in untrained women. Participants were matched for maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) and body fat percentage assigned either a (n = 14), running 14) or control group 8). Assessments conducted pre- post-intervention with physiological, anthropometric, motivation exercise physical self-esteem data collected. Post-intervention, V̇O2max increased (P < 0.05) by 16% 14% groups, respectively, time exhaustion 19% both...

Introduction Exercise can decrease fall risk in older adults but less is known about training to reduce injury the event a unavoidable. The purpose of this study was compare standard prevention exercises novel Fall Arrest Strategy Training ( FAST); designed improve upper body capacity fall-injury women. Method Forty women (mean age 74.5 years) participated either Standard (n = 19) or FAST 21) twice per week for 12 weeks. Both interventions included lower strength, balance, walking practice,...

Age-related declines in upper extremity muscle strength may affect an older adult's ability to land and control a simulated forward fall impact. The role of individual joints during impact has not been examined. purpose was evaluate the age differences joint moment contributions women. A convenience sample 68 women (70 (8) yrs) performed three trials fall. Percentage moments were recorded. Upper collected via handgrip, hand-held dynamometry shoulder elbow custom multi-joint concentric...

Abstract Explosive actions are integral to soccer performance and highly influenced by the ability generate maximal power. The purpose of this study was investigate relationship between force-velocity profile, jump performance, acceleration sprint speed in elite female players. Thirty-nine international players (24.3±4.7 years) performed 40-m sprints, countermovement jumps five loaded squat at increasing loads determine individual profiles. Theoretical velocity, theoretical force, power...

Abstract Increased involvement of the hip musculature during some movements is associated with enhanced performance and reduced injury risk. However, impact dominant weight training methods on movement strategy has seen limited attention within literature. The aim this study was to evaluate if a 9-week intervention promotes more leading an improvement in countermovement jump performance. Twenty-two experienced female dancers were recruited separated into (age 24.4 ± 6.3 years, body height...

Abstract Hill, V, Patterson, S, Buckthorpe, M, and Legg, HS. The acute effects of a preload upper-body power exercise on 50-m freestyle performance in youth swimmers. J Strength Cond Res 38(7): 1295–1299, 2024—This study aimed to investigate the medicine ball slam optimal recovery time required induce postactivation enhancement (PAPE) response 50-meter swimming performance. Twenty-four (13 female, 11 male) competitive, adolescent swimmers (mean ± SD : age, 16.7 1.2 years; height, 173.3 6.7...

Introduction Research investigating psychometric properties of multi-joint upper body strength assessment tools for older adults is limited. This study aimed to assess the test–retest reliability and concurrent validity novel clinical measures assessing functional concentric eccentric pushing activities compared other more traditional limb measures. Methods Seventeen participants (6 males 11 females; 71 ± 10 years) were tested two days apart, performing three maximal repetitions...

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in ice hockey is a concern for many athletes. The biomechanics of skating and the injury mechanism, prevalence, identification, treatment protocols currently available FAI athletes are important all coaches practitioners to understand. This article discusses underlying anatomical issues biomechanical considerations surrounding FAI. Furthermore, this describes interventions that can be used when encountering well-established aid return play. Finally,...
