All data was uniformly collected by a single designated tester who implemented consistent instructions, procedures, and equipment at all test sites. Comparing forwards and guards, 45% (18/40) of the reported metrics showed significance (p < 0.05) and 35% (14/40) yielded moderate-large effect sizes (e.g., > 0.50). Additionally, percentiles (3-97th) with qualitative descriptors and a traffic light system were provided. Such normative data can serve as a valuable reference point for coaches, scouts, and players alike, facilitating the evaluation of both individual and team performance while also guiding the development of tailored strength and conditioning strategies specific to the demands of NCAA DI MCBB.","PeriodicalId":170948,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strength and Conditioning","volume":"46 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141340036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enhancing deceleration abilities is crucial for athletes as successfully executing horizontal deceleration has important implications for match outcomes in sports requiring rapid multidirectional movements. However, specific training interventions targeting deceleration are scarce. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the effects of training interventions on deceleration performance in adult team-based field and court sports athletes. \u0000Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted through electronic databases, SPORTdiscus, PubMed, and Web of Science from inception to February 2022, and re-run in May 2023. The search terms were related to different training interventions and kinetic, kinematic, and performance outcomes related to deceleration performance. Studies were included if they consisted of a randomised controlled trial which investigated the effects of training on deceleration-specific outcome measures in adult team-based field and court sports athletes. Risk of bias was assessed using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomised trials (RoB2). Post-intervention effect sizes (Hedge’s g) were calculated between the intervention and control groups and a meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model. \u0000Results: Twelve studies were included, with 29 deceleration-specific outcomes measured in a total of 381 participants. There was inconsistency in methodological designs, including control group types, length and type of interventions and in reported deceleration-specific outcome measures. Across all observations of deceleration performance measures there was a standardised mean difference of -0.04 (95% CI: -0.50, 0.42), favouring control groups, indicating little effect of training on deceleration performance. For secondary outcomes related to deceleration, for kinetics (SMD = -0.29, 95% CI = -0.83, 0.25, I2 = 55%, p < 0.01), joint kinetics (SMD = -0.20, 95% CI = -1.01, 0.61, I2 = 68%, p < 0.01) and muscle activation (SMD = -0.10, 95% CI = -0.44, 0.24, I2 = 19%, p = 0.28) had greater effects for control groups, whereas joint kinematics (SMD = 0.07, 95% CI = -0.11, 0.24, I2 = 0%, p = 0.77), favoured the intervention groups. \u0000Conclusion: For the deceleration-specific outcomes reported in the included studies, training was not likely to produce a performance improvement in participants compared to control groups. However, due to methodological inconsistencies between studies and observed high risk of bias, the results should be interpreted with caution. More rigorous research methods should be included in the future to address areas that may introduce potential biases.

Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of 2-, 3- and 4-mins ‘composite’ training inter-repetition rest intervals on fast stretch shortening cycle (SSC) and neuromuscular performance. A randomized crossover research design was employed. Drop jump (DJ), 20m sprint (with 5 and 10m splits), countermovement jump (CMJ) and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) tests were performed pre-session, post-session, and 7 days post-session to observe if supercompensation occurred. A 2-min rest interval showed enhancements in fast SSC DJ performance where supercompensation may have occurred in height, velocity, force and power (Cohen’s d = 0.22-0.55). A 3-minute rest interval elicited responses in 5 and 20m sprint performance (Cohen’s d = -0.29 to -0.30) and isometric RFD (Cohen’s d = 0.35-0.60) 7 days post-session. CMJ measures (Cohen’s d = 0.22-0.76) appeared to have experienced supercompensation when employing a 4-minute rest period. Significant (p < 0.05) decreases in performance pre- to post-session were found for certain sprint, CMJ and IMTP variables. The ‘composite’ training inter-repetition rest interval used, appears dependent on the primary goal of a training cycle. However, a 3-min rest interval may be used if there are multiple goals of a training cycle due to enhancements in sprint performance, isometric RFD and CMJ height. ‘Composite’ training is a time-efficient method of enhancing jump, sprint, and maximal strength, which is suitable for practitioners working in sports such as hurling where time is limited.","PeriodicalId":170948,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strength and Conditioning","volume":"44 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140711247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vertical GRF and sagittal kinematic data were obtained from 12 males and 12 females during countermovement jump-landings in 4 different loading arrangements (unloaded, 10% body mass load placed anteriorly, posteriorly, and split anterior/posterior). Two methods (body mass vs. mass*landing height) were used to normalize joint torques to determine whether common mass-normalization (type A) yielded different results than a jump-landing specific mass*landing height normalization (type B) in statistical significance. Mixed-model analyses of variance (α=0.05) and effect sizes (ES) were used to assess differences between sexes and loading conditions for each normalization method. Results show that for normalization A, significant statistical differences were found between sexes for peak vertical GRF, hip moment, and knee moment. Pooled sex peak vertical GRF and hip moments showed significant differences when comparing the unloaded with the back and front-loaded conditions. For normalization B, the peak vertical GRF also showed significant differences between men and women but with smaller effect sizes. Only the hip moment showed significant differences for both normalization methods but changed the magnitude of its effect sizes. Results suggest that different normalization methods could be considered for joint moments or GRF depending on the nature of the statistical significance of jump height.","PeriodicalId":170948,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strength and Conditioning","volume":"11 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140739076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
