  1. 11. 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).

  2. 12. 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

  3. 13. Upper- & lower body strength and its correlation to performance in swimming

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

    Author : Julia Björk; [2018]
    Keywords : Swimming; 400m; 50m; freestyle; strength; lat-pulldown; squat; velocity;

    Abstract : Background: To learn how to swim with proper technique takes fairly large amount of time and practice to learn and anelite swimmer spends 6-7 days training for improving aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity and strength training for energy saving technique. Freestyle is the fastest swimming style and is performed in many different distances, 50m is classified as a sprint and the 400m as a middle-distance. READ MORE

    Abstract : Abstract Aim The main purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of a very heavy resisted sprint training regimen and a unresisted sprint training regimen on sprint, acceleration and jump performance in late pubertal adolescent football (soccer) players at mid- to post-PHV and >95% PAH. Method In total 27 male football players were recruited as volunteer participants. READ MORE

  5. 15. Kinetic and kinematic factors influence on ice-hockey skating sprint performance

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Avdelningen för hälsovetenskap

    Author : Fredrik Hillergren; [2017]
    Keywords : Asymmetri; Frekvens; Impuls; Kontakttid; Kraft;

    Abstract : Skridskoåkning är en viktig färdighet för ishockeyspelare. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka olika variabler inom kinetik och kinematik och dess association med hastighet på skridskoåkning över en kort distans. Tolv manliga elit ishockeyspelare deltog i studien. Pedar mobile system inläggssulor placerades i båda skridskorna. READ MORE
