The effect of stretch–shortening magnitude and muscle–tendon unit length on performance enhancement in a stretch–shortening cycle [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Stretch-induced residual force enhancement (rFE) is associated with increased performance in a stretch–shortening cycle (SSC). Although the influence of different range of motions and muscle–tendon unit lengths has been investigated in pure stretch-hold ...

Effect of Preactivation on Torque Enhancement by the Stretch-Shortening Cycle in Knee Extensors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The stretch-shortening cycle is one of the most interesting topics in the field of sport sciences, because the performance of human movement is enhanced by the stretch-shortening cycle (eccentric contraction).

Factors of force potentiation induced by stretch-shortening cycle in plantarflexors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Muscle force is potentiated by countermovement; this phenomenon is called stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) effect. In this study, we examined the factors strongly related to SSC effect in vivo, focusing on tendon elongation, preactivation, and residual ...

The Importance of Impact Loading and the Stretch Shortening Cycle for Spaceflight Countermeasures [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Pronounced muscle and bone losses indicate that the musculoskeletal system suffers substantially from prolonged microgravity. A likely reason for these detrimental adaptations in the lower extremity is the lack of impact loading and the difficulty to ...

VERTICAL JUMPING PERFORMANCE RELATES TO SPRINTING PERFORMANCE OVER SHORT DISTANCES AND DIFFERENT SECTIONS [PDF]
Journal of Applied Sports Sciences, 2021 A high level of sprinting performance is relevant in various sports. Because of the transition of movement patterns in different sprint sections there is a shift in the relevance of speed-strength of the knee and hip extensors, and stretch-shortening ...

Countermovement, Hurdle, and Box Jumps: Data-Driven Exercise Selection
Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2023 Apart from squat jumps, countermovement jumps (CMJ), and drop jumps, differences among other jump variations are not as well researched, making data-driven exercise selection difficult.

Journal of Exercise Science & Fitness, 2021 Background/objective: Dry land-training (e.g., plyometric jump training) can be a useful mean to improve swimming performance. This study examined the effects of an 8-week plyometric jump training (PJT) program on jump and sport-specific performances in ...

Understanding Stretch Shortening Cycle Ability in Youth [PDF]
Strength & Conditioning Journal, 2013 ABSTRACTEXTENSIVE RESEARCH HAS INVESTIGATED STRETCH-SHORTENING CYCLE (SSC) PERFORMANCE IN ADULTS; HOWEVER, TO DATE, ONLY A FEW STUDIES HAVE INVESTIGATED SSC ABILITY IN YOUTHS. YOUTHS UNDERGOING PUBERTY EXPERIENCE MANY PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES, WHICH INCLUDE CHANGES TO NEUROMUSCULAR AND ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Muscle force, work, and power output during concentric contractions (active muscle shortening) are increased immediately following an eccentric contraction (active muscle lengthening). This increase in performance is known as the stretch-shortening cycle
