Changes in the Eccentric Phase Contribute to Improved Stretch-Shorten Cycle Performance after Training
Key Points
This research aims to investigate the effects of training on the eccentric phase of the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) and its relationship to jump performance.
Controlled training interventions focusing on ballistic power and heavy strength training.
Assessment of jump performance improvements post-training.
Evaluation of changes in SSC function during the eccentric phase.
After training, jump performance improved significantly with specific focus on the eccentric phase of the SSC.
Ballistic power training and heavy strength training both contributed effectively to these enhancements.
Abstract
Training-induced alterations in SSC function during the ECC phase contributes to improvements in jump performance after both ballistic power training and heavy strength training.
