Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how resistance and plyometric training affect sprinting and change of direction performance in healthy adults and adolescents.
  • A systematic review of 20 studies was conducted, focusing on participants' performance 24 hours after muscle-damaging exercises.
  • Results showed that both types of training significantly impaired sprint and change of direction performance for up to 72 hours, while also increasing markers of muscle damage and soreness.

To examine the repeated bout effect (RBE) following two identical resistance bouts and its effect on bowling-specific performance in male cricketers. Male cricket pace bowlers (N = 10), who had not undertaken resistance exercises in the past six months, were invited to complete a familiarisation and resistance maximum testing, before participating in the study protocol. The study protocol involved the collection of muscle damage markers, a battery of anaerobic (jump and sprint), and a bowling-specific performance test at baseline, followed by a resistance training bout, and a retest of physical and bowling-specific performance at 24 h (T24) and 48 h (T48) post-training.
