Comparison of the Velocity and Power Parameters During Loaded-Squat Jump Exercise of National Athletes in Different Branches

Abstract

The aim of this investigation is to compare velocity and power variables during loaded-squat jump (SJ Loaded ) exercise of national athletes dealing with different sports branches and to identify whether velocity and power parameters become different or not according to branches. In accordance with this purpose, a total of 36 national athletes exercise was executed with an external load that corresponds to 40% of body weights of the athletes by utilizing an isoinertial velocity transducer (T-Force dynamic measurement system) and values of mean velocity (MV), mean propulsive velocity (MPV), peak velocity (PV), mean power (MP), mean propulsive power (MPP) and peak power (PP) were determined. All data analyzes were performed in the SPSS 16.0 statistical program. Firstly, in order to analyze data, it was determined that the data indicated normal distribution by looking at the Shapiro-Wilk coefficient regarding the normality of the distribution of the data. Therefore one-way analysis of variance (One-way ANOVA) was utilized to identify statistical significant differences among athletes competing in different branches with regard to the velocity and power variables during the SJ Loaded

Effect of different specific warm-up protocols and time of day on optimum power performance in kickboxers

“…Studies on force are carried out especially for athletes engaged in combat sports such as boxing, kickboxing, taekwondo and judo and athletes engaged in team sports such as handball and volleyball (Buśko, 2016;Nikolaidis et al, 2016). However, in research, there are limited studies considering elite, national team or amateur athletics levels in kickboxing in which the power parameters obtained during the concentric phase of the SJ movement are evaluated or compared (Can et al, 2020;Can et al, 2019).…”
