1. 1. The effect of flywheel training on functional neuromuscular performance in physically active youth

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

   Author : Niklas Westblad; [2018]
   Keywords : flywheel training youth resistance training peak height velocity;

   Abstract : Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of flywheel resistance training on functional neuromuscular performance in physically active youth.   Method Forty-four healthy and physically active youth between 12-14 years of age (n=19 boys & n=25 girls) volunteered to participate and were randomized into three different groups of flywheel resistance training (FRT) (n=15, body mass = 42,9 ± 8,6 kg, time to Peak Height Velocity (PHV) = - 0,8 ± 1,6), traditional strength training (TST) (n=15, body mass = 44,7 ± 10,3 kg, time to PHV = - 0,8 ± 1,5) and a control group (CON) (n=14, body mass = 43,8 ± 9,0 kg, time to PHV- 0,8 ± 1,5.

3. 2. Optimizing strength training for hypertrophy : A periodization of classic resistance training and blood-flow restriction training

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

   Author : Daniel Cortobius; Niklas Westblad; [2016]
   Keywords : muscle; hypertrophy; resistance; training; blood flow restricted exercise; quadriceps; tränarlänkdiverse;

   Abstract : Aim The main aim of this study was to investigate if a combination of classic resistance training and blood flow restricted resistance exercise (BFRE) training would result in greater increases in quadriceps muscle growth compared with other strength training studies. The second aim was to investigate if there would be any difference in muscle hypertrophy between men and women after the training intervention. READ MORE
