Effects of different footwear on vertical jump and landing parameters.

Little is known about the effects of different footwear on anaerobic performance variables. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different footwear on vertical jumping and landing parameters. Ten men and 10 women participated.

No effect of a single remote voluntary contraction on performance in women soccer players.

Remote voluntary contractions (RVCs) are defined as muscle contractions remote from, yet concurrent with, the prime mover. Previous studies suggest this phenomenon may produce an ergogenic effect on performance. Currently, little research has examined the effects of a single RVC on complex performance in women athletes.

Influence of rest intervals after assisted jumping on bodyweight vertical jump performance.

Assisted jumping (an overspeed concept) is a method used to improve vertical jump performance. However, research is lacking on the optimal program design to maximize performance outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of rest intervals after assisted jumping on bodyweight (BW) vertical jumps.

Effect of aerobic recovery intensity on delayed-onset muscle soreness and strength.

Because of the performance decrements associated with delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), a treatment to alleviate its symptoms is of great interest. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of low vs. moderate-intensity aerobic recovery on DOMS and strength.
