Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding change of direction ability in sport: a review of resistance training studies.
TL;DR: There have not been any strength or power variables that significantly correlated with COD performance on a consistent basis and the magnitude of the correlations were, for the most part, small to moderate.
THIS MANUSCRIPT IS PROVIDED IN CONFIDENCE TO DETERMINE REPRINT INTEREST ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE DISTRIBUTED EITHER INTERNALLY OR EXTERNALLY VIA PRINT OR ELECTRONIC MEDIA FOR OTHER THAN THE STATED PURPOSE. Understanding Change of Direction Ability in Sport A Review of Resistance Training Studies
TL;DR: The ability to change direction while sprinting is considered essential for successful participation in most team and individual sports and it has traditionally been thought that strength and power development would enhance change of direction (COD) performance as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving Repeated Sprint Ability in Young Elite Soccer Players: Repeated Shuttle Sprints Vs. Explosive Strength Training
TL;DR: Because RS and ExpS were equally efficient at enhancing maximal sprinting speed, RS training-induced improvements in RSA were likely more related to progresses in the ability to change direction than ExpS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sprint Acceleration Mechanics: The Major Role of Hamstrings in Horizontal Force Production
Jean-Benoit Morin,Philippe Gimenez,Pascal Edouard,Pierrick J. Arnal,Pedro Jiménez-Reyes,Pierre Samozino,Matt Brughelli,Jurdan Mendiguchia +7 more
TL;DR: Experimental testing of the role of the hip extensors in horizontal GRF production during short, maximal, treadmill sprint accelerations showed a significant relationship between horizontalGRF and the combination of biceps femoris EMG activity during the end of the swing and the knee flexors eccentric peak torque.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hamstring strain injuries: are we heading in the right direction?
TL;DR: A new concept for a more comprehensive scientific understanding of how multiple risk factors contribute to hamstring strain injury is introduced to serve as a foundation for future evidence-based research and aid in the development of new prevention methods to decrease the high incidence of this type of injury.
