“…The FiTRO Dyne Premium (FiTRONiC, Bratislava, Slovakia) monitored basic biomechanical parameters. As shown previously, the intraclass correlation coefficients for peak power and mean power during deadlift high pull above 0.80, along with no significant differences between the test results obtained on the first and second test sessions, signify good reliability [ 14 ]. However, SEM > 10% for peak power and SEM < 10% for mean power during deadlift high pull with free weights as well as on the Smith machine indicate that the latter represents a more reliable parameter [ 14 ].…”

“…Previous study revealed a significant association between the power produced during deadlift and deadlift high pull (r = 0.627 for peak values and 0.639 for mean values, p < 0.05) [ 14 ]. Following the resistance training, mean power during the deadlift increased significantly at 20 kg (14.3%), 30 kg (17.7%), 40 kg (16.5%), 50 kg (14.5%), and 60 kg (14.3%).…”

“…Following this, they performed two repetitions of the deadlift and the deadlift high pull with maximal effort in the lifting phase. The weight increased stepwise up to a maximal power, as previously described [ 14 ]. The more enhanced of the two attempts were selected for analysis.…”

“…These maximal values of power during typical resistance exercises, such as bench presses or squats, occur at intermediate velocities when lifting moderate weights, i.e., 50–60% 1-RM [ 13 ]. During the deadlift high pull with free weights or on the Smith machine, maximal values of power are at about 80% and 70% 1-RM in healthy young adults [ 14 ]. This approach can be used for the evaluation of the effects of training in the overweight and obese.…”

Background: This study evaluates the effect on power produced during a modified lifting task in the overweight and obese after three months of either resistance or aerobic training. Methods: Seventeen male subjects divided randomly into two groups performed deadlift and deadlift high pull, both with increasing weights up to maximal power, prior to and after the training programs (three sessions per week). Results: Their mean power increased significantly during the deadlift at 20 kg (14.3%, p = 0.026), 30 kg (17.7%, p = 0.008), 40 kg (16.5%, p = 0.011), 50 kg (14.5%, p = 0.020), and 60 kg (14.3%, p = 0.021) and during the deadlift high pull at 30 kg (9.9%, p = 0.037), 40 kg (10.1%, p = 0.035), and 50 kg (8.2%, p = 0.044) after the resistance training. However, the group that participated in the aerobic training failed to show any significant changes in power performance during either the deadlift or deadlift high pull. Conclusion: Three months of resistance training enhances power outputs during a lifting task with weights from 30 to 50 kg (~40–60% of 1-repetition maximum) in the overweight and obese. Because this test was sensitive in revealing pre-post training changes in lifting performance, it should be implemented in the functional diagnostics for overweight and obese individuals and also complement existing testing methods.

“…The exercise in a form of deadlift to high pull may best mimic the demands imposed by sports comprising of lifting tasks. Muscle power measured during this exercise with free weights and on the Smith machine is a reliable and sensitive parameter able to distinguish the lifting performance in healthy young individuals (Zemková et al, 2016a ).…”

Neuromuscular training in young athletes improves performance and decreases the risk of injuries during sports activities. These effects are primarily ascribed to the enhancement of muscle strength and power but also balance, speed and agility. However, most studies have failed to demonstrate significant improvement in these abilities. This is probably due to the fact that traditional tests do not reflect training methods (e.g., plyometric training vs. isometric or isokinetic strength testing, dynamic balance training vs. static balance testing). The protocols utilized in laboratories only partially fulfill the current needs for testing under sport-specific conditions. Moreover, laboratory testing usually requires skilled staff and a well equipped and costly infrastructure. Nevertheless, experience demonstrates that high-technology and expensive testing is not the only way to proceed. A number of physical fitness field tests are available today. However, the low reliability and limited number of parameters retrieved from simple equipment used also limit their application in competitive sports. Thus, there is a need to develop and validate a functional assessment platform based on portable computerized systems. Variables obtained should be directly linked to specific features of particular sports and capture their complexity. This is essential for revealing weak and strong components of athlete performance and design of individually-tailored exercise programs. Therefore, identifying the drawbacks associated with the assessment of athlete performance under sport-specific conditions would provide a basis for the formation of an innovative approach to their long-term systematic testing. This study aims (i) to review the testing methods used for the evaluation of the effect of neuromuscular training on sport-specific performance in young athletes, (ii) to introduce stages within the Sport Longlife Diagnostic Model, and (iii) to propose future research in this topic. Analysis of the literature identified gaps in the current standard testing methods in terms of their low sensitivity in discriminating between athletes of varied ages and performance levels, insufficent tailoring to athlete performance level and individual needs, a lack of specificity to the requirements of particular sports and also in revealing the effect of training. In order to partly fill in these gaps, the Sport Longlife Diagnostic Model was proposed.
