3. 7. Post-Activation Performance Enhancement in Sledge Ankle Hops after a 6-seconds maximal Isometric Plantar Flexion

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

   Author : Gabriel Solé; [2021]
   Keywords : sports; sprint; jumping; performance;

   Abstract : Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-second maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the plantar-flexors on subsequent ankle hops performed only by plantar flexing at the ankle. Methods 10 physically active university students were recruited to volunteer in this study. READ MORE

   Author : Antonio Lutula; [2019]
   Keywords : swimming; sprint swimming; resisted sprint training; resisted swimming; anaerobic power; swim power; swim bench; 1080 sprint; 1080 motion; force velocity; biomechanics;

   Abstract : Aim The aim of this study was to ascertain the effect of resisted sprint training in swimming on maximal swimming velocity and performance characteristics. The aim was also to examine how maximal swimming velocity is related to maximal swim power and maximal dry-land power. READ MORE

5. 9. Muscle contributions to body mass center acceleration during the first stance of sprint running

   University essay from KTH/Mekanik

   Author : LAURA MARTÍN DE AZCÁRATE; [2019]
   Keywords : Sprinting biomechanics; first stance; forward dynamic simulation; induced acceleration analysis; individual muscle contribution; elite sprinter; step width;

   Abstract : The best results in a sprint running are based upon covering the distance in the shortest possible time, and therefore performance has to be maximized. To achieve the best performance, the sprinter has to develop the greatest forward acceleration, reach his/her maximal speed, and keep it over the run. READ MORE
