Training for muscular power adaptations : the role of contraction type and velocity [PDF]
, 2016 Muscular power, an integral component in most sport, is the product of force and velocity. Power is often viewed as synonymous, yet incorrectly, with strength. Where power has an inherent speed component, strength is independent of movement velocity, and

Effects of plyometric training on soccer players
Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2016 Plyometric training (PT) is a technique used to increase strength and explosiveness. It consists of physical exercises in which muscles exert maximum force at short intervals to increase dynamic performances. In such a training, muscles undergo a rapid elongation followed by an immediate shortening (stretch-shortening contraction), utilizing the ...

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.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.
