Effect Of Increasing External Loads On Countermovement Jump Landing Kinetics Between Ncaa Di Women's Soccer And Gymnastics On Land Vs In Water, Paul Bryan Beachem Iv May 2016

Effect Of Increasing External Loads On Countermovement Jump Landing Kinetics Between Ncaa Di Women's Soccer And Gymnastics On Land Vs In Water, Paul Bryan Beachem Iv

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of differing loads on landing kinetics on land, and in aquatic conditions. Twenty four NCAA DI athletes volunteered for this study twelve female soccer players and twelve female gymnasts. Participants performed three jumps with four differing external loads in both land and aquatic environments. External loads were body weight (BW), BW*1.1, BW*1.2, BW*1.3 and applied via a weighted vest. All external loads for both conditions were added based upon participants BW on land. Kinetic measures were peak force, rate of force development, and impulse of the landing phase of the …

As use of an aquatic environment increases as a training and rehabilitative tool, the purpose of this study was to assess peak propulsive power in loaded countermovement jumps (CMJ) in water and compare them to loaded CMJ on land. 20 college aged (24.6±3.6 years) recreationally active males performed 4 randomized countermovement jumps on a force plate with increasing loads (bodyweight [BW], BW+10%, BW+20%, BW+30%) in two environments: immersed in water at the xiphoid process and on land. Peak power (PP) and mean power (MP) normalized to apparent mass were assessed for all jumps. A 2 (environment) by 4 (load) repeated …
