Periodization of plyometrics : is there an optimal overload principle? [PDF]
, 2021 This study investigated the acute and chronic effects of 3 plyometric training (PT) programs with equal training loads (intensity × volume × frequency) on speed, agility, and jumping performance.

Jumping on the moon as a potential exercise countermeasure
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The Moon's gravitational field strength (17% Earth's gravity) may facilitate the use of bodyweight jumping as an exercise countermeasure against musculoskeletal and cardiovascular deconditioning in reduced gravity settings. The present study characterised the acute physiological and kinetic responses to bodyweight jumping in simulated Lunar ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

Correlational analysis between joint-level kinetics of countermovement jumps and weightlifting derivatives [PDF]
, 2019 The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanical similarity between net joint moments (NJM) of the countermovement jump (CMJ) and the hang power clean (HPC) and jump shrug (JS).

Validity of a contact mat and accelerometric system to assess countermovement jump from flight time [PDF]
, 2019 Countermovement jump (CMJ) height is an important parameter in physical performance. This study compared CMJ height measured using ChronoJump contact mat (CJ) and Myotest accelerometer (MT) systems with a force platform (FP). Thirty recreationally active

Effects of a Tapering Period on Physical Condition in Soccer Players [PDF]
, 2021 The aim of this research was to analyze the effects of a 2-week step tapering period on lower-limb muscle power, change of direction (COD) and acceleration capacities, and on the stress-recovery state in an amateur soccer team.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract During weightlessness, the human neuro–muscular–skeletal system undergoes maladaptation to the microgravity environment. The European Space Agency (ESA) project NEX4EX, ‘Novel Exercise Hardware for Exploration’, developed an advanced multipurpose exerciser offering resistive (RES), plyometric (PLYO) and sensorimotor (SENSO) exercises.

Sports Biomechanics, 2021 This study aimed to explore the relationship between the inter-limb differences in unilateral countermovement (CMJ) height and the inter-limb differences in bilateral CMJ force production, and to elucidate whether the self-reported preferred leg contributes more to force production than the non-preferred leg.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract This study examined whether consuming a (poly)phenol‐rich food before strenuous muscle‐damaging exercise can modify post‐exercise markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Using a double‐blinded, randomised, placebo‐controlled, between‐subjects design, 26 recreationally active males (n = 15) and females (n = 11) consumed higher‐(poly ...
