1. 1. Load-velocity profiles as a predictor of performance level in swimming : What differentiates international elite swimmers from national elite – force capacity or efficiency?

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysiologi, nutrition och biomekanik

   Author : Maria Vitazka; [2023]
   Keywords : Load-Velocity; Force-Velocity; Force Capacity; Swimming; Biomechanics; Performance indicators; International elite; swimming performance; 1080 Sprint; 1080 Motion; Semi-tethered force measurements; tethered force measurements; maximum velocity; load; force; swimming efficiency;

   Abstract : Aim  The purposes of this study were to investigate if the load-velocity (L-V) profile parameters – force capacity and efficiency - differ between swimmers of different performance level, and to investigate if efficiency is the key performance indicator between international elite and national elite level swimmers.  Method  Fifty-four swimmers (27 female and 27 male) of either regional level, national elite or international elite level, participated in this study.

3. 2. Very Heavy Resisted Sprinting: A Better Way to Improve Acceleration? : Effects of a 4-Week Very Heavy Resisted Sprinting Intervention on Acceleration, Sprint and Jump Performance in Youth Soccer Players

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

   Author : Domen Bremec; [2018]
   Keywords : sprint; resisted sprinting; acceleration; jumping; speed; football; soccer;

   Abstract : Abstract Aim was to investigate the effects of heavy resisted and unresisted sprint training protocols and see its effects on sprint time, vertical and horizontal jumping and sprint mechanics. Youth male soccer players [n=27] participated in this study, they were all individually assessed for the horizontal force-velocity profile using two unresisted sprints and load-velocity profile using four progressively resisted sprints (25%, 50%, 75% and 100% body mass).

4. 3. Test-retest reliability and construct validity of three golf specific rotational power tests in 1080 Quantum : and a presentation of the power-force-velocity profiles of elite level golfers

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

   Author : Bálint Paulovics; [2018]
   Keywords : force; velocity; profile; validity; reliability; golf; performance; test; rotational exercise; force-velocity profile; kraft; hastighet; profil; validitet; tillförlitlighet; golf; prestanda; test; rotationsövning; krafthastighetsprofil;

   Abstract : Background: Evaluation of power-force-velocity profiles in ballistic push-offs and in sprint movements are beneficial to enhance sport performance. There have only been a few studies investigating force-velocity profiles in rotational movements and there have not been any studies conducted on golf specific rotational movements. READ MORE

5. 4. Practical applications of an optimized plyometric training – an overview

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för idrottsvetenskap (ID)

   Author : Domen Bremec; [2017]
   Keywords : plyometrics; stretch-shortening cycle; explosive performance; ballistic training; reactive strength index;

   Abstract : Plyometric training has always been a topic of interest in terms of sport perfor-mance enhancement and development. The most relevant and up-to-date data has been reviewed to try to answer the question “what kind of plyometric training to use” to improve ones’ performance. READ MORE
