Acute Impact of Different Reperfusion Duration Following Blood Flow Restriction on Bar Velocity during the Bench Press Exercise.

The main goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of different reperfusion duration following intra-conditioning blood flow restriction (BFR) on bar velocity during the bench press exercise and muscle viscoelastic properties of the triceps brachii. Eleven resistance trained males (age: 24.3 ± 4.

Acute effects of isometric conditioning activity with different distribution contraction on countermovement jump performance in resistance trained participants.

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 3 sets of isometric conditioning activity (ICA), each with an equal total duration (9 s per set) but with different distributions contractions, on force production during ICA and subsequent countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. Fifteen resistance-trained males participated in this study (age: 22.1 ± 2.

How repeatable is PAPE effect: the impact of in-season isometric squat activation on countermovement jump performance enhancement in national level soccer players.

Background: The post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) effect has been widely studied; however, its repeatability across training sessions during the competitive season in team sports has not yet been verified. Therefore, this study investigates whether PAPE effect, as measured by the countermovement jump (CMJ) without arm swing, induced by an maximum voluntary isometric squat as a conditioning activity (ICA) three days after the match, could be replicated over a 4-week training period throughout the season. The study also explores whether the magnitude of acute PAPE responses correlates with match running variables, as monitored by global positioning system (GPS) data.

Occurrence of Injuries in Different Phases of Judo Matches: Analysis Based on International Competitions.

Background: The specificity of the technical actions that are performed in judo may be dependent on and vary during particular phases of the combat, thus possibly impacting injury prevalence. Therefore, towards the betterment of athletes' safety and considering the importance of the issue of injury prevention in judo, the main goal of this study was to identify the injury occurrence during respective combat phases, i.e.

Effects of different ischemic pressures on bar velocity during the bench press exercise: A randomized crossover trial.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different ischemic pressures applied during rest intervals on bar velocity during the bench press exercise. 10 resistance-trained males (age = 23.2 ± 2.

Effects of blood flow restriction on mechanical properties of the rectus femoris muscle at rest.

This study examined the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) and reperfusion on the mechanical properties of the rectus femoris muscle at rest (frequency and stiffness). Fourteen trained men (body weight = 81.0 ± 10.

Acute Effects of Caffeinated Chewing Gum on Volleyball Performance in High-Performance Female Players.

To date, no investigation has studied the effect of acute intake of caffeinated chewing gum on volleyball performance. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to establish the impact of caffeinated chewing gum ingestion on physical performance in female volleyball players. Twelve high-performance volleyball female athletes participated in a randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled, and double-blind experiment.

Impact of movement tempo on bar velocity and time under tension in resistance exercises with different external loads.

The goal of the study was to determine the differences between volitional and maximal movement tempo during resistance exercise. Ten healthy men volunteered for the study (age = 26.4 ± 4.

Acute impact of blood flow restriction on strength-endurance performance during the bench press exercise.

The main goal of the present study was to evaluate the acute effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) at 70% of full arterial occlusion pressure on strength-endurance performance during the bench press exercise. The study included 14 strength-trained male subjects (age = 25.6 ± 4.
