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 ...

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.

Does elastic energy enhance work and efficiency in the stretch-shortening cycle? [PDF]
, 1997 This target article addresses the role of storage and reutilization of elastic energy in stretch-shortening cycles. It is argued that for discrete movements such as the vertical jump, elastic energy does not explain the work enhancement due to the ...

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 ...
