Background Physical development during adolescence is crucial for athletes in team sports,
as it prepares them for the high sport demands at the senior level. While physical …

Traditional neuromuscular tests (eg, jumping and sprinting tasks) are useful to assess
athletic performance, but the basic outcomes (eg, jump height, sprint time) offer only a …

It's no secret that a strong midsection is a necessity for elite-level athletes. In fact, research
has established a direct correlation between core strength, performance, and injury risk …

A novel self-powered wearable motion sensor for monitoring the spiking gesture of
volleyball athletes has been manufactured from piezoelectric PVDF film. The PVDF film can …

The force-velocity (Fv) relationship has been proposed as a biomechanical characteristic to
comprehensively evaluate neuromuscular capabilities within different tasks such as vertical …

Campillo, R, and Pérez-Castilla, A. Acute effect of different velocity-based training protocols …

The difference between squat jump (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ), termed
eccentric utilization ratio (EUR), is frequently suggested as an outcome that can be used in …

Objectives To assess the reliability and the validity of a modified version of the Athletic
Shoulder Test (M-AST), using a handheld dynamometer instead of a force plate. Design Test …

The force-velocity (FV) relationship allows the identification of the mechanical capabilities of
musculoskeletal system to produce force, power and velocity. The aim of this study was to …

Purpose To determine the effects of maturation stage (eg, classified in the same intervention
protocol as early-, and late-mature) on linear sprinting speed adaptations to plyometric jump …
