About

The main purpose of this study will be comparison of acute effects of plyometric and heavy resistance exercise on post-activation potentiation

Full description

This is a single-center, randomized, crossover study. Collegiate soccer players will be enrolled in this study. The study will be performed in 3 separate sessions.In the first session, participants will be familiarized with the experimental conditions and 1RM will be calculated. Participants will then be randomized to receive either heavy resistance or plyometric exercise first in the second session and then will be crossed over to receive the opposite intervention in the third session. The objective of the study is to compare the acute effects of plyometric and heavy resistance exercise on post - activation potentiation by measuring physical performance and blood lactate level.

Enrollment: 14 patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 18 to 26 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Collegiate soccer players aged 18 - 26 years
• Participants must have at least 2 years of playing experience
• Participants should be involved in sport-specific training on at least 2 occasions per week and play competitively once per week

Exclusion criteria

• Lower extremity reconstructive surgery in last 24 months or unresolved musculoskeletal disorder which would prohibit subject to participate in the sport.
• Participants who are consuming (or had consumed) growth hormone, anabolic steroids or any kind of performance enhancing drugs.
