Regarding the training load results, a significant effect size has been found in the contrast of medians depending on the proximity to the game in regular weeks and congested weeks, while in weeks without competition, moments of load alternation have been detected.

Replicated single-subject analyses were performed to identify differences that were both statistically significant and important for each individual. Countermovement jump landing performance and loading, attenuation, and control phase durations were compared, while interlimb vertical ground reaction forces (GRF) were compared during each phase of CMJ landings with leftward and rightward rotations, respectively, using the model statistic and coefficient of variation techniques. The model statistic provided random chance probability (α = 0.05). The coefficient of variation provided whether differences exceeded the largest amount of variation from each limb or rotation direction. The bilateral asymmetry index (BAI; difference between dominant and nondominant limbs divided by the sum of the 2 limbs) was also calculated. Statistically significant (model statistic results) and important (coefficient of variation results) differences in landing performance were detected between rotation conditions in 4 subjects. Most subjects did not display significant and important asymmetries for the changes of vertical GRF during any phase of CMJ landings with leftward or rightward rotations. Large amounts of intra-individual variation seem to be an influential factor for these results, as basketball players seem to have unrefined landing strategies that could require targeted training. Because the BAI values reached as high as ± 531% without coinciding with significant and important asymmetry, researchers and practitioners may need to reevaluate the way in which asymmetry indices are interpreted.</p>","PeriodicalId":17129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142869439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study also compares physical characteristics by players' position and the players in SDHL with the nonchecking female North American Elite League (PWHL).

Relationships between grip and index finger strength with scenario variables were derived with partial correlations controlling for sex and age (p < 0.05; incumbents and cadets analyzed separately).

Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by a 12-minute run test, endurance by the 60-s sit-up and push-up tests, and lower-limb muscular power by standing broad jump test.

Significant differences between sexes for all measures of physical fitness (p < 0.01, d = 0.14-1.68), except for upper-limb endurance, were observed (p > 0.05, d = 0.05).

Frequencies and percentages of exercise science-related accreditation standards that included or lacked disability language and to what extent were reported. Of the 1,043 standards, 417 were classified as including language related to at least 1 of the 8 ICF categories.

We investigated the effects of flywheel rear leg elevated (Bulgarian) split squat (RLESS) training on single-leg drop jump (SLDJ) biomechanics in athletes with ACLR after RTS. Eleven competitive athletes with unilateral ACLR (546 ± 270 days postsurgery) performed 16 sessions of 1 set of deep knee flexion RLESS until failure in the reconstructed leg (REC) using a flywheel. Using motion capture and force plates, jump height and leg joint contribution were calculated during a 30-cm SLDJ, alongside peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF), lower extremity joint peak angle, displacement, work, peak internal moment, and peak power. After training, the jump height increased in REC (p < 0.05) but not the intact leg (INT), although the jump height in REC remained lower than that in INT. Reconstructed leg knee contribution increased, whereas REC hip contribution decreased, so no bilateral difference remained after training. Although jump height remained unchanged in INT, several kinematic and kinetic variables changed significantly. Vertical ground reaction force showed no significant difference while asymmetry in internal knee varus moment disappeared, suggesting that some risk factors of ACL injury were reduced. Therefore, athletes with ACLR show persistent deficits in jumping performance, but adding 8 weeks of flywheel RLESS in REC can safely improve performance and restore normal joint contribution. Besides, coaches should be aware of possible changes in jumping mechanics in INT despite unchanged jumping performance when monitoring athletes with ACLR.</p>","PeriodicalId":17129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142729769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
