    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).
