The purpose of our study was to compare the effects of 2 different periodization models on strength and power variables under dynamic and static conditions in the bench press. Participants of the experimental groups were male sport students experienced in weight training (age: 23.98 +/- 3.14 yr). Subjects were tested for the 1 repetition maximum (1RM) in the bench press, maximal movement velocity (Vmax) in the bench press throw (16.9 kg), maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), and maximal rate of force development (MRFD) in 90 degrees elbow and shoulder angle in the isometric bench press. According to their 1RM, subjects were parallelized and assigned to 1 of either 2 training groups: strength-power periodization (SPP, n = 13) or daily undulating periodization (DUP, n = 14). Subjects trained for 14 weeks, 3 days per week. In the strength-power sessions, both groups were instructed to lift the weight as explosively as possible. In addition, a control group (n = 13) was used for comparison. One repetition maximum and Vmax improved significantly through training (p

This study first investigated how the probability of winning collision events is affected by technical characteristics among world-class, international female rugby union players, and second, whether enhanced performance of these technical characteristics was related to physical attributes. Carry and tackle events from 16 international matches played by a top-two world ranking team were coded according to technical characteristics and performance outcomes. Binary classification tree models revealed that carry performance was successfully predicted ( < 0.

Background: Choline is an essential nutrient required for proper cell functioning. Due to its status as a precursor to acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter connected to cognition and neuromuscular function, maintaining or enhancing choline levels is of interest. Supplementation with alpha-glycerylphosphorycholine (A-GPC) can maintain choline levels, but its ability to offer support towards cognition remains an area of ongoing research.

Aim: We examined bench press adaptations to three widely used strength training methods; maximal strength training (MST), hypertrophy training (HT) and explosive strength training (EST). To reflect how these methods are typically applied by practitioners, MST and EST were volume matched, whereas HT were performed at higher volume.
Methods: Sixty-three moderately trained subjects (32 males; 31 females) were randomized into 8 weeks of MST, HT, EST or control (CON), 3 sessions/week.
